  • Patent number: 11803192
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing visual odometry more rapidly. Pairs of representations from sensor data (such as images from one or more cameras) are selected, and features common to both representations of the pair are identified. Portions of bundle adjustment matrices that correspond to the pair are updated using the common features. These updates are maintained in register memory until all portions of the matrices that correspond to the pair are updated. By selecting only common features of one particular pair of representations, updated matrix values may be kept in registers. Accordingly, matrix updates for each common feature may be collectively saved with a single write of the registers to other memory. In this manner, fewer write operations are performed from register memory to other memory, thus reducing the time required to update bundle adjustment matrices and thus speeding the bundle adjustment process.

  • Patent number: 11794785
    Abstract: Generally, the disclosed systems and methods utilize multi-task machine-learned models for object intention determination in autonomous driving applications. For example, a computing system can receive sensor data obtained relative to an autonomous vehicle and map data associated with a surrounding geographic environment of the autonomous vehicle. The sensor data and map data can be provided as input to a machine-learned intent model. The computing system can receive a jointly determined prediction from the machine-learned intent model for multiple outputs including at least one detection output indicative of one or more objects detected within the surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle, a first corresponding forecasting output descriptive of a trajectory indicative of an expected path of the one or more objects towards a goal location, and/or a second corresponding forecasting output descriptive of a discrete behavior intention determined from a predefined group of possible behavior intentions.
