Patent number: 10936920Abstract: A system trains and applies a machine learning model to label maps of a region. Various data modalities are combined as inputs for multiple data tiles used to characterize a region for a geographical map. Each data modality reflects sensor data captured in different ways. Some data modalities include aerial imagery, point cloud data, and location trace data. The different data modalities are captured independently and then aggregated using machine learning models to determine map labeling information about tiles in the region. Data is ingested by the system and corresponding tiles are identified. A tile is represented by a feature vector of different data types related to the various data modalities, and values from the ingested data are added to the feature vector for the tile. Models can be trained to predict characteristics of a region using these various types of input.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Timo Pekka Pylvaenaeinen, Aditya Sarawgi, Vijay Mahadevan, Vasudev Parameswaran, Mohammed Waleed Kadous

Publication number: 20190073520Abstract: This description describes a system for identifying individuals within a digital file. The system accesses a digital file describing the movement of unidentified individuals and detects a face for an unidentified individual at a plurality of locations in the video. The system divides the digital file into a set of segments and detects a face of an unidentified individual by applying a detection algorithm to each segment. For each detected face, the system applies a recognition algorithm to extract feature vectors representative of the identity of the detected faces which are stored in computer memory. The system applies a recognition algorithm to query the extracted feature vectors for target individuals by matching unidentified individuals to target individuals, determining a confidence level describing the likelihood that the match is correct, and generating a report to be presented to a user of the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2018Publication date: March 7, 2019Inventors: Balan Rama Ayyar, Anantha Krishnan Bangalore, Jerome Francois Berclaz, Reechik Chatterjee, Nikhil Kumar Gupta, Ivan Kovtun, Vasudev Parameswaran, Timo Pekka Pylvaenaeinen, Rajendra Jayantilal Shah

Patent number: 9978170Abstract: An approach is provided for providing perspective-based content placement. A content placement platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of one or more models of one or more objects associated with a geographical area to cause, at least in part, a decomposition of the one or more models into one or more simplified surfaces. The content placement platform further causes, at least in part, a selection of one or more portions of the one or more simplified surfaces as one or more content placement layers based, at least in part, on one or more viewpoints, with the one or more content placement layers supporting a perspective-based rendering of one or more content items associated with the one or more objects.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2017Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: HERE Global B.V.Inventors: Urban Velkavrh, Mridul Aanjaneya, Timo Pekka Pylvänäinen, Radek Grzeszczuk, Ramakrishna Vedantham

Patent number: 9779545Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein optimally locate business labels within the footprint of a building shown on a digital map. An optimal arrangement comprises business labels displayed entirely within the building footprint without the business labels overlapping each other. The technology initially generates label arrangements and calculates a cost for the arrangements. A cost of zero means the arrangement is optimal. For non-zero costs, a lower cost means the arrangement is close to an optimal arrangement. The technology can continue to generate arrangements for analysis until an acceptable arrangement is found.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2016Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Rom Impas, Jerome Francois Berclaz, Timo Pekka Pylvaenaeinen

Patent number: 9471934Abstract: An approach is provided for location-based presentation of content. A content service platform determines one or more representations of at least one structure. The content service platform also processes and/or facilitates a processing of the one or more representations to determine one or more features of the one or more representations. The content service platform further causes, at least in part, designation of the one or more features as elements of a virtual display area, wherein the one or more representations comprise, at least in part, the virtual display area. The content service platform also causes, at least in part, presentation of one or more outputs of one or more applications, one or more services, or a combination thereof in the virtual display area.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2011Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: NOKIA TECHNOLOGIES OYInventors: Petros Belimpasakis, Jussi Severi Uusitalo, Timo Pekka Pylvänäinen, Kimmo Tapio Roimela, Juha Henrik Arrasvuori

Patent number: 9305371Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for defining transition zones for navigating a visualization. The visualization may be constructed from geometry of a scene and one or more texture images depicted the scene from various viewpoints. A transition zone may correspond to portions of the visualization that do not have a one-to-one correspondence with a single texture image, but are generated from textured geometry (e.g., a projection of texture imagery onto the geometry). Because a translated view may have visual error (e.g., a portion of the translated view is not correctly represented by the textured geometry), one or more transition zones, specifying translated view experiences (e.g., unrestricted view navigation, restricted view navigation, etc.), may be defined. For example, a snapback force may be applied when a current view corresponds to a transition zone having a relatively higher error.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Blaise Aguera y Arcas, Markus Unger, Donald A. Barnett, Sudipta Narayan Sinha, Eric Joel Stollnitz, Johannes Peter Kopf, Timo Pekka Pylvaenaeinen, Christopher Stephen Messer
