摘要： Described is a method that involves operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to begin a flight, where the UAV relies on a navigation system to navigate to a destination. During the flight, the method involves operating a camera to capture images of the UAV's environment, and analyzing the images to detect features in the environment. The method also involves establishing a correlation between features detected in different images, and using location information from the navigation system to localize a feature detected in different images. Further, the method involves generating a flight log that includes the localized feature. Also, the method involves detecting a failure involving the navigation system, and responsively operating the camera to capture a post-failure image. The method also involves identifying one or more features in the post-failure image, and determining a location of the UAV based on a relationship between an identified feature and a localized feature.

摘要： Systems and methods for structure footprint detection from oblique imagery are disclosed, including a computer system configured to receive geo-referenced oblique images; analyze pixels of the images to: identify pixels representing a structure with walls; determine ground locations for the walls, geographic locations and orientations of pixels representing vertical edges of the walls, and relative lengths of the walls to produce horizontal line segments representing the base of the walls and having a relative length and an orientation, the horizontal line segment(s) determined from horizontal edge(s) extending a length between vertical edges above the bottoms of the vertical edges such that the horizontal edge is above the base of the structure; and assemble the horizontal line segments based on their relative lengths and orientations to form a footprint of the structure.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention provide a camera array imaging architecture that computes depth maps for objects within a scene captured by the cameras, and use a near-field sub-array of cameras to compute depth to near-field objects and a far-field sub-array of cameras to compute depth to far-field objects. In particular, a baseline distance between cameras in the near-field subarray is less than a baseline distance between cameras in the far-field sub-array in order to increase the accuracy of the depth map. Some embodiments provide an illumination near-IR light source for use in computing depth maps.

摘要： A work machine includes a work implement and a vehicle body including a first vehicle body portion, a mount attached to the first vehicle body portion, and a second vehicle body portion supported on the first vehicle body portion via the mount. A control system for the work machine includes a vehicle body positional sensor, a work implement positional sensor, and a controller. The vehicle body positional sensor is attached to the second vehicle body portion and outputs vehicle body position data indicative of a position of the second vehicle body portion. The work implement positional sensor is attached to the second vehicle body portion and outputs work implement position data indicative of a relative position of the work implement with respect to the second vehicle body portion. The controller calculates a position of the work implement based on the vehicle body position data and the work implement position data.

摘要： A high-definition map system receives sensor data from vehicles traveling along routes and combines the data to generate a high definition map for use in driving vehicles, for example, for guiding autonomous vehicles. A pose graph is built from the collected data, each pose representing location and orientation of a vehicle. The pose graph is optimized to minimize constraints between poses. Points associated with surface are assigned a confidence measure determined using a measure of hardness/softness of the surface. A machine-learning-based result filter detects bad alignment results and prevents them from being entered in the subsequent global pose optimization. The alignment framework is parallelizable for execution using a parallel/distributed architecture. Alignment hot spots are detected for further verification and improvement. The system supports incremental updates, thereby allowing refinements of subgraphs for incrementally improving the high-definition map for keeping it up to date.
