Real Time Machine Vision and Point-Cloud Analysis For Remote Sensing and Vehicle Control
First Claim
1. An apparatus for identifying assets within point-cloud survey data, the apparatus comprising:
- a front end component accessible via a digital communications network for receiving a point-cloud dataset;
a data storage component, the data storage component storing the point-cloud dataset and subdividing the point-cloud dataset into a plurality of data chunks;
a processing unit comprising a compute cluster, the processing unit receiving streamed data chunks from the data storage component and applying one or more analysis mechanisms to each data chunk to extract asset information; and
a map generator combining asset information extracted from the data analysis mechanisms into an output map.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for real time machine vision and point-cloud data analysis are provided, for remote sensing and vehicle control. Point cloud data can be analyzed via scalable, centralized, cloud computing systems for extraction of asset information and generation of semantic maps. Machine learning components can optimize data analysis mechanisms to improve asset and feature extraction from sensor data. Optimized data analysis mechanisms can be downloaded to vehicles for use in on-board systems analyzing vehicle sensor data. Semantic map data can be used locally in vehicles, along with onboard sensors, to derive precise vehicle localization and provide input to vehicle to control systems.
