    摘要: Techniques for predicting an object trajectory or scene information are described herein. For example, the techniques may include inputting latent variable data into a machine learned model. The machine learned model may output an object trajectory (e.g., position data, velocity data, acceleration data, etc.) for one or more objects in the environment based on the latent variable data. The object trajectory can be sent to a vehicle computing device for consideration during vehicle planning, which may include simulation.

    摘要: Techniques for determining a probability that a first sensor is miscalibrated with respect a second sensor are discussed herein. For example, a computing device may receive calibrated extrinsics of a camera to a lidar, determine a plurality of sets of perturbed extrinsics based on the calibrated extrinsics, determine respective costs for perturbed extrinsics of the plurality of sets of perturbed extrinsics based on image data captured by the camera, the plurality of sets of perturbed extrinsics, and lidar data captured by the lidar, and determine a local maxima score for the calibrated extrinsics based at least in part on the respective costs for the perturbed extrinsics of the plurality of sets of perturbed extrinsics and a cost of the calibrated extrinsics. The computing device may then determine a probability that the camera is miscalibrated based on a Bayes probability and the local maxima score.

    摘要: Techniques are discussed herein for detecting and measuring faults within vehicle drive systems. In various implementations, actuator feedback monitors and/or vehicle performance monitors are used individually or in combination to determine faults within acceleration systems, braking systems, and/or steering systems of a vehicle. Different monitors may use different algorithms, models, and input data from the vehicle during operation, to compare a predicted drive system output to a corresponding measured output. Additionally, monitors may include associated sets of disable conditions used to distinguish drive system faults from other driving conditions. The outputs from actuator feedback monitors, vehicle performance monitors, and disable conditions may be analyzed to detect drive system faults and control the vehicle to address the faults and control the safe operation of the vehicle.

    摘要: Navigation systems can identify objects in an environment and generate representations of those objects. A representation of an articulated vehicle can include two segments rotated relative to each other about a pivot, with a first segment corresponding to a first portion of the articulated vehicle and the second segment corresponding to a second portion of the articulated vehicle. The articulated object can be tracked in the environment by generating estimated updated states of the articulated agent based on previous states and/or measured states of the object using differing motion model updates for the differing portions. The estimated updated states may be determined using one or more filtering algorithms, which may be constrained using pseudo-observables.

    摘要: Drive envelope determination is described. In an example, a vehicle can capture sensor data while traversing an environment and can provide the sensor data to computing system(s). The sensor data can indicate agent(s) in the environment and the computing system(s) can determine, based on the sensor data, a planned path through the environment relative to the agent(s). The computing system(s) can also determine lateral distance(s) to the agent(s) from the planned path. In an example, the computing system(s) can determine modified distance(s) based at least in part on the lateral distance(s) and information about the agents. The computing system can determine a drive envelope based on the modified distance(s) and can determine a trajectory in the drive envelope.
