Abstract: Example implementations may relate to methods and systems for detecting an event in a physical region within a physical space. Accordingly, a computing system may receive from a subscriber device an indication of a virtual region within a virtual representation of the physical space such that the virtual region corresponds to the physical region. The system may also receive from the subscriber a trigger condition associated with the virtual region, where the trigger condition corresponds to a particular physical change in the physical region. The system may also receive sensor data from sensors in the physical space and a portion of the sensor data may be associated with the physical region. Based on the sensor data, the system may detect an event in the physical region that satisfies the trigger condition and may responsively provide to the subscriber a notification that indicates that the trigger condition has been satisfied.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, from a subscriber device, a request including virtual region characteristics and an occupancy threshold, and determining, using image data captured by a camera and the virtual region characteristics, a virtual region corresponding to a portion of a physical region within a field of view of the camera. The virtual region is smaller than the physical region. The method also includes determining, using the image data, an occupancy of the virtual region and determining that the occupancy of the virtual region satisfies the occupancy threshold. In response to determining that the occupancy of the virtual region satisfies the occupancy threshold, the method also includes generating a notification to the subscriber device.

Abstract: Examples relate to implementing robotic radar assistance. A robotic device may use radar antennas coupled at different positions on the robotic device to monitor a buffer that extends proximate around one or more portions of the robotic device. In some instances, the buffer has a shape that corresponds to exterior shapes of the one or more portions of the robotic device. The robotic device may receive object location information from the radar antennas that indicates positions of respective objects within the buffer relative to the robotic device. Using the object location information, the robotic device may identify when an unexpected object enters within the buffer, and adjust robotic operation as a result.

The method may include receiving point cloud data representative of the actor within the environment. The method may also include generating data segments of the point cloud data corresponding to respective height levels of the actor.

Further, the method may include determining that the first data segment is representative of a head of the actor while the second data segment is representative of a body of the actor. The method may also include providing information indicating a direction of the actor based on the second data segment.

Abstract: To provide smoothly scaleable map features on interactive digital maps, a first and a second sets of style parameters for rendering a map feature at a first zoom level and a second zoom level, respectively, are received. The first and second sets of style parameters are provided to a vertex shader. The vertex shader is configured to interpolate the first set of style parameters and the second set of style parameters to generate an interpolated set of style parameters for a certain zoom level between the first zoom level and the second zoom level, and render the map feature at the certain zoom level in accordance with the interpolated set of style parameters.

Abstract: A first digital map is displayed in a viewport at an initial position. When a user gesture that communicates motion to the viewport is detected, a trajectory of the viewport from the initial position to a target position is determined based on kinematic quantities of the communicated motion. Map data for displaying a second digital map in the viewport at the target position is retrieved from a first memory, prior to the viewport reaching the target position. The retrieved map data is stored in a second memory having a higher speed of access than the first memory. The second memory is retrieved for display via the user interface when the viewport is at the target position.
