Abstract: A map fusing method includes receiving a source graph and a target graph. The source graph is representative of a source map and the target graph is representative of a target map and includes nodes and edges that connect the nodes. The method further includes processing each of the source graph and the target graph in a graph convolutional layer to provide graph convolutional layer outputs related to the source graph and to the target graph, processing each of the graph convolutional layer outputs for the source graph and the target graph in a linear rectifying layer to output node feature maps related to the source graph and the target graph. The method further includes selecting pairs of node representations from the node feature maps related to the source graph and the target graph and concatenating the selected pairs to output selected and concatenated pairs of node representations.

Abstract: A sensor transmitter device for transmitting the payload data of a sensor to a bus control device is described, the sensor transmitter device being connectable to a data bus of a vehicle, which is configured for simultaneous transmission of bus data packets between a plurality of sensor transmitter devices and a bus control device. The bus data packets should include at least one signaling field and one payload data field having a plurality of payload data blocks. The sensor transmitter device includes a sensor interface for receiving payload data which represent a physical variable and a memory which is configured for storing position information which identifies at least one payload data block from the payload data field, which is reserved exclusively for the transmission of payload data from the sensor transmitter device to the bus control device.
