  • Landmark location reconstruction in autonomous machine applications
    Patent number: 11842440
    Abstract: In various examples, locations of directional landmarks, such as vertical landmarks, may be identified using 3D reconstruction. A set of observations of directional landmarks (e.g., images captured from a moving vehicle) may be reduced to 1D lookups by rectifying the observations to align directional landmarks along a particular direction of the observations. Object detection may be applied, and corresponding 1D lookups may be generated to represent the presence of a detected vertical landmark in an image.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 12, 2021
    Date of Patent: December 12, 2023
    Assignee: NVIDIA Corporation
    Inventors: Philippe Bouttefroy, David Nister, Ibrahim Eden
