Application: Identifying objects for display in a situational-awareness view of an autonomous-vehicle environment (Patent ID: US20240125612A1)

The patent filed by Lyft Inc. describes a method for processing sensor data associated with an object external to a vehicle. The method involves receiving a sequence of data packets corresponding to a sequence of time frames, determining the object's classification based on the sensor data, identifying and replacing corrupt or missing data packets, generating visual representations of the object based on the replacement data, and displaying these visual representations with a defined time latency. The system also includes processors and storage media to execute these operations, ensuring accurate and timely visualization of the object.

Additionally, the method involves generating replacement data packets through frame interpolation using adjacent data packets, incorporating visual and location information from the sensor data. The system can also receive secondary data from independent sources to enhance object classification accuracy, determining confidence scores based on sensor and secondary data. By comparing data points to predetermined patterns, the method ensures accurate classification of the object. The patent aims to improve the processing and visualization of sensor data for objects external to vehicles, enhancing safety and efficiency in various applications.
