    Abstract: A geographic database storing map data is provided. The geographic database is stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium. The geographic database comprises a plurality of records corresponding to drivable surfaces of a road network. The plurality of records comprise a plurality of lane records corresponding to particular lanes of the road network. Each first record of the plurality of records comprises a plurality of instances of adjacency information. Each instance of adjacency information/data (a) links the first record corresponding to a first drivable surface of the road network to a second record of the plurality of records corresponding to a second drivable surface of the road network. The first drivable surface is adjacent to the second drivable surface. Each instance of adjacency information/data indicates crossing parameters between the first drivable surface and the second drivable surface.

    Abstract: An apparatus accesses label data and training images corresponding to a geographic area; and provides the label data and training images to a training model. The training model comprises of at least a predictor model and an alignment model. The predictor model is configured to receive an image and provide a prediction corresponding to the image. The alignment model is configured to generate a transformed prediction based on aligning the label data and the prediction. The apparatus executes a loss engine to iteratively receive the label data and the transformed prediction, evaluate a loss function based on the label data and the transformed prediction, and cause weights of the predictor model and the alignment model to be updated based on the evaluated loss function to cause the predictor and alignment models to be trained.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to determining correspondence between a template and an object in an image. A method may include: receiving an image of an environment including an image of an object within the image of the environment; resizing the first template to obtain a scaled first template having a size corresponding to a size of the image of the object; calculating a number of correspondences between the scaled first template and the image of the object; receiving a candidate homography; testing the candidate homography; and replacing the image of the object with a second template of a different object according to the candidate homography in response to the candidate homography being established as corresponding to the image of the object.

    Abstract: Segmentation of three dimensional objects may be implemented using a neural network model, a clustering module, a factorization module, and a geometric fitting module. The neural network model is configured to analyze point cloud data for a geographic region and assign probability values outputted from the neural network to points in the point cloud data. The clustering module is configured to group a subset of the probability values based on relative locations of the assigned points in the point cloud data. The factorization module is configured to factor a matrix with the subset of the clustered probability values to assign a line for a three dimensional object of the geographic region. The geometric fitting module is configured to fit at least one predetermined shape for the three dimensional object to the point cloud data based at least on the assigned line.
