  • Publication number: 20230258769
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for distance calibration of an autonomous vehicle in a nominally short distance calibration environment. In particular, apparatus, methods and systems are provided using reflective materials to artificially augment a distance to a known target. In various implementations, reflective planes are disposed in pathway between the autonomous vehicle and target. Targets of known sizes can be used to calculated a distance from the autonomous vehicle to the target. Utilizing the known optical pathway, a calibration can be performed. With the aid of an Autonomous Vehicle Rotation Table, the autonomous vehicle is rotated such that a matrix of range-angle calibrations can be executed. Frequency spectra include LiDAR and radar, but any suitable bandwidth and/or detection protocol is not beyond the scope of the present disclosure.

  • Patent number: 11699001
    Abstract: Introduced here computer programs and associated computer-implemented techniques for generating measurements of physical structures and environments in an automated matter through analysis of data that is generated by one or more sensors included in a computing device. This can be accomplished by combining insights that are derived through analysis different types of data that are generated, computed, or otherwise obtained by a computing device. For instance, a computer program may enable or facilitate measurement of arbitrary dimensions, angles, and square footage of a physical structure based on (i) images generated by an image sensor included in the corresponding computing device and (ii) measurements generated by an inertial sensor included in the corresponding computing device.

  • Publication number: 20230192116
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle (AV) navigates with limited calibration of sensors and other components. To navigate with a less-reliable sensing and control capacity, the AV uses sensors to detect a navigation path within the environment of the AV. The navigation path may include encoded information describing a destination or distance to information, which may be decoded by the AV to select a navigation path or determine movement of the AV along the path. To control movement of the AV along the path, the AV may monitor the navigation path after the AV executes a motion plan to determine the relative motion of the navigation path within the sensor data. The navigation path moving towards or away from a sensor may be used to determine whether the AV is moving towards or away from the navigation line despite relatively unknown sensed characteristics of the environment or actual movement in the environment.

  • Publication number: 20230185431
    Abstract: In one or more implementations, content generated using a client application may be associated with a classification. The content may be accessed based on one or more classifications associated with the content. Content may be generated by a client application executed by a client device of a content creator and sent to a server system that may distribute the content to one or more additional client devices of recipients of the content. The server system may also aggregate content having a same classification.

  • Publication number: 20230102606
    Abstract: A system to perform operations that include: minting a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) that comprises a media object and mutable metadata; allocating the NFT to a user of a client device; granting the user of the client device a permission to change the mutable metadata of the NFT based on the allocating the NFT to the user of the client device; generating an open-edition of the NFT, the open-edition of the NFT comprising a reference to the mutable metadata; receiving a change to the mutable metadata from the user of the client device; and updating the open-edition of the NFT based on the change.

  • Publication number: 20220319082
    Abstract: In one or more implementations, user content items generated using a client application may be shared with users that are not contacts of the user within the client application. A user interface that indicates a number of recipients of the user content item may be generated that also includes a first section that displays the user content item and a second section to add text content to the user content item. In various examples, one or more classifications may be associated with the user content item.

  • Publication number: 20220318325
    Abstract: In one or more implementations, content generated using a client application may be associated with a classification. A number of classifications may be recommended to users of a client application based on alphanumeric characters entered by the users. Additionally, a number of classifications may be recommended to the users of the client application based one or more additional criteria, such as recently used classifications or classifications having at least a threshold frequency of use by additional users of the client application.

  • Patent number: 11176501
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides generally for methods and systems relating to relocation management. More specifically, the methods and systems relate to monitoring and assessing the progress and status of a relocation. In some aspects, a move plan may be developed to perform a relocation, wherein the move plan may organize the logistics of the project. In some embodiments, a move plan may comprise move segments that may allow for more detailed logistics management and monitoring. In some implementations, a progress formula may be generated for a relocation based at least in part on the move plan, which may allow for a dynamic and accurate understanding of the progress and status of a relocation.
