Application: Approaches for encoding environmental information (Patent ID: US20240104932A1)
The patent filed by Lyft Inc. describes systems, methods, and computer-readable media for accessing parameter-based encodings that represent an environment captured by sensors in vehicles. These encodings identify agents and their locations within the environment, which are then clustered to determine scenarios associated with the environment. The method involves labeling the encodings based on similarity, determining new scenarios or scenario families, and identifying maneuvers associated with these scenarios. Additionally, the patent discusses using machine learning models to determine scenarios and generate labels for the encodings, as well as clustering subsets of encodings to identify sub-scenarios or scenario sub-families based on features like location, motion, geometry, distance, and time information.
The patent claims detail a computer-implemented method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for clustering parameter-based encodings, determining labels for these encodings, and applying labels based on similarity and features associated with the encodings. The method includes identifying new scenarios, determining maneuvers, and utilizing machine learning models to classify scenarios and generate labels. The system and storage medium also perform similar operations, such as clustering subsets of encodings, determining scenarios based on interactions between vehicles and agents, and generating labels for scenarios and scenario families. Overall, the patent focuses on efficiently analyzing and categorizing data from vehicle sensors to understand and respond to various scenarios in an environment.
