  • Patent number: 11948381
    Abstract: A system can use semantic images, lidar images, and/or 3D bounding boxes to determine mobility parameters for objects in the semantic image. In some cases, the system can generate virtual points for an object in a semantic image and associate the virtual points with lidar points to form denser point clouds for the object. The denser point clouds can be used to estimate the mobility parameters for the object. In certain cases, the system can use semantic images, lidar images, and/or 3D bounding boxes to determine an object sequence for an object. The object sequence can indicate a location of the particular object at different times. The system can use the object sequence to estimate the mobility parameters for the object.

  • Publication number: 20230306722
    Abstract: Provided are methods for customized tags for annotating sensor data, which can include receiving sensor data captured during a plurality of sensor data capture sessions, processing the sensor data using a plurality of machine learning models to identify a plurality of capture session collections represented in the sensor data, filtering the sensor data based at least partly on a user-specified category of the plurality of categories of capture session to identify a capture session collection, of the plurality of capture session collections, representing sensor data of one or more sensor data capture sessions that conforms to the user-specified category, and transmitting the sensor data of one or more sensor data capture sessions that conforms to the user-specified category to an end user computing device. Systems and computer program products are also provided.
