    Abstract: A method for visual inertial odometry (VIO)-aided global positioning is described. The method includes updating an extended Kalman filter (EKF) state including a current pose and a sliding window of multiple prior poses. The sliding window includes poses at a number of most recent global positioning system (GPS) time epochs. Updating the EKF includes updating an EKF covariance matrix for the prior poses and the current pose in the EKF state. The method also includes determining, at a GPS epoch, a relative displacement between each of the updated prior poses and the current pose. The method further includes determining an error covariance of each of the relative displacements based on cross-covariances between each of the updated prior poses and the current pose in the EKF covariance matrix. The method additionally includes using the relative displacements and the error covariances to fuse pseudorange measurements taken over multiple epochs.

    Abstract: A method performed by an electronic device is described. The method includes determining a predicted velocity relative to Earth corresponding to a first epoch using a camera and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The method also includes determining, using a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, a GPS velocity relative to Earth. The method further includes determining a difference vector between the predicted velocity and the GPS velocity. The method additionally includes refining a bias estimate and a scale factor estimate of IMU measurements proportional to the difference vector. The method also includes refining a misalignment estimate between the camera and the IMU based on the difference vector. The method further includes providing pose information based on the refined bias estimate, the refined scale factor, and the refined misalignment estimate.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for performing object detection and tracking. For example, a tracking object can obtain an image comprising a target object at least partially in contact with a surface. The tracking object can obtain a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) keypoints based on one or more features associated with one or more portions of the target object in contact with the surface in the image. The tracking object can obtain information associated with a contour of the surface. Based on the plurality of 2D keypoints and the information associated with the contour of the surface, the tracking object can determine a three-dimensional (3D) representation associated with the plurality of 2D keypoints.

    Abstract: Example systems and techniques are described for controlling operation of a vehicle and training a machine learning model for controlling operation of a vehicle. A system includes memory configured to store point cloud data associated with the vehicle and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory. The one or more processors are configured to determine a depth map indicative of distance of one or more objects to the vehicle and control operation of a vehicle based on the depth map. The depth map is based on executing a machine learning model, the machine learning model being trained with a slice loss function determined from training point cloud data having a respective depth that is greater than the average depth for a set of points of the point cloud data plus a threshold.
