  • Patent number: 11030525
    Abstract: Presented are deep learning-based systems and methods for fusing sensor data, such as camera images, motion sensors (GPS/IMU), and a 3D semantic map to achieve robustness, real-time performance, and accuracy of camera localization and scene parsing useful for applications such as robotic navigation and augment reality. In embodiments, a unified framework accomplishes this by jointly using camera poses and scene semantics in training and testing. To evaluate the presented methods and systems, embodiments use a novel dataset that is created from real scenes and comprises dense 3D semantically labeled point clouds, ground truth camera poses obtained from high-accuracy motion sensors, and pixel-level semantic labels of video camera images. As demonstrated by experimental results, the presented systems and methods are mutually beneficial for both camera poses and scene semantics.

  • Patent number: 10909377
    Abstract: In one embodiment, objects are tracked by calculating affinity scores with multiple cues in cascading stages. In each stage, affinity scores are calculated for currently detected objects based on a cue. The affinity scores are then fed into subsequent stages to inform subsequent calculations based on subsequent cues, where calculations can be skipped and resources saved. Object tracks are updated every frame, to assist in autonomous vehicle driving.
