Abstract: In various examples, segmented map creation for autonomous and semi-autonomous systems and applications is described herein. For instance, systems and methods described herein may segment a map into various portions, where the systems and methods then update the map based at least on the segmentation. For instance, based at least on receiving instances of data from machines navigating with an environment associated with the HD map, the instances of data may be associated with various portions of the map. Additionally, metrics associated with the portions of the map may be updated, such as by indicating the numbers of instances of data that are associated with the portions of the map. As such, when a metric associated with a portion of a map is satisfied, such as by reaching a threshold, the portion of the map may be updated without updating one or more other portions of the map.

Abstract: In various examples, updates may be published for maps used by machines to navigate an environment without restricting use of previous versions of the maps that remain valid. For example, a map for a region of an environment may be updated to a new version, and compatibility information for the new version of the map may be published. The compatibility information may indicate whether the new version of the map is compatible with other maps for other regions. Additional compatibility information for the other maps may also be updated to indicate whether those other maps are compatible with the new version of the map and/or the previous versions of the map. In some examples, an index may be updated to indicate the new version of the map is the most current version, and the new version of the map may be made available for use by the machines.

Abstract: In various examples, multiple stage map creations for autonomous and semi-autonomous systems and applications is described herein. For instance, systems and methods are described herein that update portions of a high-definition (HD) map in one or more stages in order to ensure that updates between different portions of the HD map are synchronized with respect to one another and/or ensure that updates to portions of the HD map are compatible with portions of the HD map that are not updated. In order to perform such processes, the systems and methods may determine to update one or more portions of the HD map. The systems and methods may use multiple states for the portion(s) when performing the updates, such as a first state (e.g., a locked state) when updating the portion(s) and a second state (e.g., an unlocked state) when not performing an update on the portion(s).

Abstract: In various examples, segmented data storage and processing for autonomous and semi-autonomous systems and applications is described herein. For instance, systems and methods are described herein that segment an environment into various areas, where respective systems that are located within the individual areas are used to store and/or process data that is generated within the individual areas. For example, and for an area of the environment, one or more systems that are located within the area may receive instances of data that are generated using one or more machines navigating within the area. The system(s) may then be configured to process the instances of data, such as updating a map associated with the area using the instances of data. Additionally, in order to synchronize data processing between the systems, the systems may be configured to communicate with one another to at least replicate a portion of the data processing.
