  • MAP SELECTION FOR VEHICLE POSE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230266129
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for locating a vehicle. A pose state estimator may access a previous position for the vehicle at a first time, wherein the previous position is on a first sub-map of a plurality of sub-maps. The pose state estimator may receive from a first localizer a first position estimate for the vehicle at a second time after the first time. The first position estimate may be on a second sub-map of the plurality of sub-maps. The pose state estimator may send to a second localizer a sub-map change message indicating the second sub-map.

  • Vehicle pose system
    Patent number: 10782411
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for determining a pose of a vehicle. A first localizer may generate a first pose estimate for the vehicle based at least in part on a comparison of first remote sensor data to a first reference data. A second localizer may generate a second pose estimate for the vehicle based at least in part on a comparison of second remote sensor data to a second reference data. A pose state estimator may generate a vehicle pose for the vehicle based at least in part on a first previous pose of the vehicle, the first pose estimate, and the second pose estimate.
