  • MAP CHANGE DETECTION
    Publication number: 20200408536
    Abstract: The present technology provides systems, methods, and devices that can update aspects of a map as an autonomous vehicle navigates a route, and therefore avoids the need for dispatching a special purpose mapping vehicle for these updates. As the autonomous vehicle navigates the route, data captured by at least one sensor of an autonomous vehicle can indicate an inconsistency between pre-mapped from a high-resolution sensor system describing a location on a map, and current data describing a new feature of the location. A type of the new feature can be classified in accordance with an analysis of a structure of the current data that has been clustered together based on a threshold spatial closeness, and semantic labels of the pre-mapped data from the high-resolution sensor system can be updated based on the new feature described by the clustered current data.

  • AUGMENTED 3D MAP
    Publication number: 20200408557
    Abstract: The present technology provides systems, methods, and devices that can dynamically augment aspects of a map as an autonomous vehicle navigates a route, and therefore avoids the need for dispatching a special purpose mapping vehicle to keep navigating a route. As the autonomous vehicle navigates a route, the autonomous vehicle can determine that current data captured by at least one sensor of the autonomous vehicle describing a location is inconsistent with the primary map of the location. The autonomous vehicle can determine that a portion of the current data describes a second feature that is distinct from a first feature described by a primary map. The second feature can be added to an augmented map that is based on the primary map, and the position of the autonomous vehicle can be located with respect to the first feature rather than the second feature on the augmented map.

  • Intra Block Copy Merge List Simplification
    Publication number: 20200275093
    Abstract: A method for generating a list of merge candidates for Intra Block Copy (IBC) prediction is provided. A video codec receives data to be encoded or decoded as a current block of a current picture of a video. A plurality of spatially adjacent neighboring blocks of the current block are coded before the current block. The video codec generates a list of merge candidates including intra picture candidates that are associated with motion information referencing pixels in the current picture. The intra picture candidates comprises candidates that are associated with some but not all of the two or more spatially adjacent neighboring blocks of the current block. The video codec selects a merge candidate from the generated list. The video codec encodes or decodes the current block by using the motion information of the selected merge candidate to generate a prediction of the current block.
