Patent number: 12277095Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can access a plurality of schema-based encodings providing a structured representation of an environment captured by one or more sensors associated with a plurality of vehicles traveling through the environment. The plurality of schema-based encodings can be clustered into one or more clusters of schema-based encodings. At least one scenario associated with the environment can be determined based at least in part on the one or more clusters of schema-based encodings.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2022Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: Lyft, Inc.Inventors: Lina Dong, Weiyi Hou, Somesh Khandelwal, Ivan Kirigin, Shaojing Li, Ying Liu, David Tse-Zhou Lu, Robert Charles Kyle Pinkerton, Vinay Shet, Shaohui Sun

Patent number: 12049229Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine sensor data captured by at least one sensor of a vehicle while navigating an environment over a period of time. Information describing one or more agents associated with the environment during the period of time can be determined based at least in part on the captured sensor data. A schema-based encoding describing the environment during the period of time can be generated based at least in part on the determined information and a scenario schema, wherein the schema-based encoding provides a structured representation of the environment during the period of time.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2020Date of Patent: July 30, 2024Assignee: Lyft, Inc.Inventors: Lina Dong, Weiyi Hou, Somesh Khandelwal, Ivan Kirigin, Shaojing Li, Ying Liu, David Tse-Zhou Lu, Robert Charles Kyle Pinkerton, Vinay Shet, Shaohui Sun

Patent number: 12039785Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine sensor data captured by at least one sensor of a vehicle while navigating an environment over a period of time. Information describing one or more agents associated with the environment during the period of time can be determined based at least in part on the captured sensor data. A parameter-based encoding describing the one or more agents associated with the environment during the period of time can be generated based at least in part on the determined information and a scenario schema, wherein the parameter-based encoding provides a structured representation of the information describing the one or more agents associated with the environment. A scenario represented by the parameter-based encoding can be determined based at least in part on a cluster of parameter-based encodings to which the parameter-based encoding is assigned.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2019Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: Lyft, Inc.Inventors: Ivan Kirigan, David Tse-Zhou Lu, Sheng Yang, Ranjith Unnikrishnan, Emilie Jeanne Anne Danna, Weiyi Hou, Daxiao Liu, Suneet Rajendra Shah, Ying Liu

Publication number: 20240104932Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can access a plurality of parameter-based encodings providing a structured representation of an environment captured by one or more sensors associated with a plurality of vehicles traveling through the environment. A given parameter-based encoding of the environment identifies one or more agents that were detected by a vehicle within the environment and respective location information for the one or more agents within the environment. The plurality of parameter-based encodings can be clustered into one or more clusters of parameter-based encodings. At least one scenario associated with the environment can be determined based at least in part on the one or more clusters of parameter-based encodings.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Lyft, Inc.Inventors: Ivan Kirigan, David Tse-Zhou Lu, Sheng Yang, Ranjith Unnikrishnan, Emilie Jeanne Anne Danna, Weiyi Hou, Daxiao Liu, Suneet Rajendra Shah, Ying Liu
