    摘要: A system uses data captured by vehicle-mounted sensors to generate a view of a ground surface. The system does this by receiving digital image frames and associating a location and pose of the vehicle that captured the image with each digital image frame. The system will access a three dimensional (3D) ground surface estimation model of the ground surface, select a region of interest (ROI) of the ground surface, and select a vehicle pose. The system will identify digital image frames that are associated with the pose and also with a location that corresponds to the ROI. The system will generate a visual representation of the ground surface in the ROI by projecting ground data for the ROI from the ground surface estimation model to normalized 2D images that are created from the digital image frames. The system will save the visual representation to a two-dimensional grid.

    摘要: Systems and methods for operating a vehicle. The methods comprise: generating, by a computing device, a vehicle trajectory for the vehicle that is in motion; detecting an object within a given distance from the vehicle; generating, by the computing device, at least one possible object trajectory for the object which was detected; using, by the computing device, the vehicle trajectory and the at least one possible object trajectory to determine whether there is an undesirable level of risk that a collision will occur between the vehicle and the object; modifying, by the computing device, the vehicle trajectory when a determination is made that there is an undesirable level of risk that the collision will occur; and automatically causing the vehicle to move according to the modified vehicle trajectory.

    摘要: This document discloses system, method, and computer program product embodiments for operating a robot. For example, the method includes: detecting an object in proximity to the robot; generating a path of travel for the object that is defined by a plurality of first data points representing different object locations in an area; generating cost curves respectively associated with the plurality of first data points; generating a polyline comprising a plurality of second data points associated with displacements of the cost curves from a particular location in the area; defining a predicted path of travel for the object based on the polyline; and using the predicted path of travel for the object to facilitate at least one autonomous operation of the robot.

    摘要: A system includes one or more electronic devices of an autonomous vehicle and a computer-readable storage medium having one or more programming instructions. The system identifies an actor in an environment of the autonomous vehicle that is exhibiting unrecognized behavior or that has exhibited unrecognized behavior within a certain time period, and generates a circle associated with the actor, wherein the circle has a radius that is a function of a velocity of the actor. The system identifies one or more target points associated with the actor, where each target point represents a point along a possible route of the actor, and each target point is located along a circumference of the circle. The system assigns a score to each target point, selects the target point associated with the lowest score, and generates a reference path from the actor to the selected target point.

    摘要: Systems and methods for processing and using sensor data. The methods comprise: obtaining semantic labels assigned to data points; performing a supervised machine learning algorithm and an unsupervised machine learning algorithm to respectively generate a first confidence score and a second confidence score for each semantic label of said semantic labels, the first and second confidence scores each representing a degree of confidence that the semantic label is correctly assigned to a respective one of the data points; generating a final confidence score for each said semantic label based on the first and second confidence scores; selecting subsets of the data points based on the final confidence scores; and aggregating the data points of the subsets to produce an aggregate set of data points.
