Systems and methods for providing vehicle cognition

Номер: US20190034728A1
Автор: Fabien Chraim, Scott Harvey, Shanmukha Sravan Puttagunta
Принадлежит: Solfice Research Inc

Systems and methods for providing vehicle cognition through localization and semantic mapping are provided. Localization may involve in vehicle calculation of voxel signatures, such as by hashing weighted voxel data (S900, 5910) obtained from a machine vision system (110), and comparison of calculated signatures to cached data within a signature localization table (630) containing previously known voxel signatures and associated geospatial positions. Signature localization tables (630) may be developed by swarms of agents (1000) calculating signatures while traversing an environment and reporting calculated signatures and associated geospatial positions to a central server (1240). Once vehicles are localized, they may engage in semantic mapping. A swarm of vehicles (1400, 1402) may characterize assets encountered while traversing a local environment. Asset characterizations may be compared to known assets within the locally cached semantic map. Differences of omission and commission between observed assets and asset characterizations with the local map cache (1860) may be reported to a central server (1800). Updates to the local signature cache (1852) and/or local map cache (1862) may be transmitted from the central server (1800) back down to vehicles within the swarm (1840).

A digital map of a geographic area, along with a representation of a building located in the geographic area, is displayed at a selected zoom level via a user interface of a computing device. Availability of indoor facilities at the building is determined. When the selected zoom level has a first value, the one or more indicators of indoor facilities available at the building are displayed inside the representation of the building at respective locations of these indoor facilities. However, when the selected zoom level has a second value, the one or more indicators of indoor facilities available at the building are displayed over or proximately to the representation of the building at a location unrelated to the respective locations of the indoor facilities.

Method of generating improved map data for use in navigation devices

Номер: US20150153186A1
Автор: Harold Goddjn, Pieter Geelen
Принадлежит: TomTom Navigation BV

An end-user can input a correction to a map error, directly on the device. The device is then able to use the correction without external processing of the correction. Hence, it is no longer necessary for an end-user to simply report errors to the map vendor over a web link, then wait for that map vendor to verify the error, update its maps and finally supply the end-user with updates—a cycle that can take months and sometimes years to complete. Instead, the navigation device can use the correction immediately. End-users can also share corrections with other end-users and also with a shared remote server that aggregates, validates and distributes correction.

A method for operating a system with at least two floor processing devices includes detecting environmental features of an environment and generating an area map based on the detected features. The area map is divided into partial areas that are assigned to the floor processing devices so that each partial area is only processed by one of the floor processing devices. A movement route and a movement timespan of the floor processing device is detected and stored with the area map. Several partial areas are combined into partial area groups, and the partial areas are allocated to the floor processing devices based on the stored movement route and movement timespan so that a floor processing of a first partial area group by a first floor processing device takes place at essentially the same time as a floor processing of a second partial area group by a second floor processing device ends. 1.

An autonomous cleaning robot (e.g., an autonomous vacuum) may use a sensor system to map an environment that may be used to determine where to clean. The autonomous vacuum receives visual data about the environment and determines a ground plane of the environment based on the visual data. The autonomous vacuum detects objects within the environment based on the ground plane. For each object, the autonomous vacuum segments a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the object out of the visual data and determines whether the object is static or dynamic. The autonomous vacuum adds static objects to a long-term level of a map of the environment and dynamic objects to an intermediate level of the map. The autonomous vacuum may further add virtual borders, flags, walls, and messes to the map. 1.
