  • Patent number: 11682196
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating communication with autonomous vehicles are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system can obtain a first type of sensor data (e.g., camera image data) associated with a surrounding environment of an autonomous vehicle and/or a second type of sensor data (e.g., LIDAR data) associated with the surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle. The computing system can generate overhead image data indicative of at least a portion of the surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the first and/or second types of sensor data. The computing system can determine one or more lane boundaries within the surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the overhead image data indicative of at least the portion of the surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle and a machine-learned lane boundary detection model.

  • Patent number: 10803325
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating communication with autonomous vehicles are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system can obtain rasterized LIDAR data associated with a surrounding environment of an autonomous vehicle. The rasterized LIDAR data can include LIDAR image data that is rasterized from a LIDAR point cloud. The computing system can access data indicative of a machine-learned lane boundary detection model. The computing system can input the rasterized LIDAR data associated with the surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle into the machine-learned lane boundary detection model. The computing system can obtain an output from the machine-learned lane boundary detection model. The output can be indicative of one or more lane boundaries within the surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle.
