Patent Applications by Waymo LLC
20250102679. SENSOR AND ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION FOR VEHICLES_simplified_abstract_(waymo llc)
Inventor(s): Colin Braley of Mountain View CA US for waymo llc, Antonio Teran Espinoza of Cambridge MA US for waymo llc, William Baxter of Kirkland WA US for waymo llc, Michael Marx of Mountain View CA US for waymo llc, Luke Wachter of Berkeley CA US for waymo llc
IPC Code(s): G01S17/931, B60S1/56, B60W60/00, G01S7/497
CPC Code(s): G01S17/931
Abstract: aspects of the disclosure provide for controlling behaviors of autonomous vehicles based on evaluation of sensors of those vehicles. for instance, sensor data including distance and intensity information for a point in an environment of an autonomous vehicle may be received. an expected intensity value from a pre-stored fair weather reference map may be identified based on a location of the point. an effective detection range for the sensor may be dynamically determined based on the expected intensity and the intensity information for the point. a behavior of the autonomous vehicle may be controlled based on the effective detection range.
20250103844. AUTOMATIC LABELING OF OBJECTS IN SENSOR DATA_simplified_abstract_(waymo llc)
Inventor(s): Justin Thorsen of Issaquah WA US for waymo llc, Changchang Wu of Bothell CA US for waymo llc, Alper Ayvaci of San Jose CA US for waymo llc, Tiffany Chen of Santa Clara CA US for waymo llc, Lo Po Tsui of Mountain View CA US for waymo llc, Zhinan Xu of San Jose CA US for waymo llc, Chen Wu of Cupertino CA US for waymo llc, Sean Rafferty of Sunnyvale CA US for waymo llc
IPC Code(s): G06K19/067, G09F3/00
CPC Code(s): G06K19/067
Abstract: aspects of the disclosure provide for automatically generating labels for sensor data. for instance, first sensor data for a vehicle may be identified. this first sensor data may have been captured by a first sensor of the vehicle at a first location during a first point in time and may be associated with a first label for an object. second sensor data for the vehicle may be identified. the second sensor data may have been captured by a second sensor of the vehicle at a second location at a second point in time outside of the first point in time. the second location is different from the first location. a determination may be made as to whether the object is a static object. based on the determination that the object is a static object, the first label may be used to automatically generate a second label for the second sensor data.
