Image and video compression for remote vehicle assistance
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- a vehicle accessing a stored representation of an environment of the vehicle;
receiving, from a sensor of the vehicle, sensor data indicative of the environment;
matching a feature of the environment indicated in the sensor data to a corresponding feature indicated in the stored representation;
identifying a first portion of the sensor data, the first portion being associated with a region of the environment that is within a threshold distance to the matched feature;
compressing the sensor data to reduce a second portion of the sensor data; and
providing the compressed sensor data for receipt by a remote system.

Abstract
A vehicle may receive one or more images of an environment of the vehicle. The vehicle may also receive a map of the environment. The vehicle may also match at least one feature in the one or more images with corresponding one or more features in the map. The vehicle may also identify a given area in the one or more images that corresponds to a a portion of the map that is within a threshold distance to the one or more features. The vehicle may also compress the one or more images to include a lower amount of details in areas of the one or more images other than the given area. The vehicle may also provide the compressed images to a remote system, and responsively receive operation instructions from the remote system.

13. A vehicle comprising:
-
a sensor to provide sensor data indicative of an environment of the vehicle; one or more processors; and data storage storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the vehicle to; access a stored representation of an environment of the vehicle; obtain the sensor data from the sensor; match a feature of the environment indicated in the sensor data to a corresponding feature indicated in the stored representation; identify a first portion of the sensor data, the first portion being associated with a region of the environment that is within a threshold distance to the matched feature; compress the sensor data to reduce a second portion of the sensor data; and provide the compressed sensor data for receipt by a remote system. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein instructions, that when executed by a device, cause the device to perform functions comprising:
-
accessing a stored representation of an environment of a vehicle; receiving sensor data indicative of the environment of the vehicle; matching a feature of the environment indicated in the sensor data to a corresponding feature indicated in the stored representation; identifying a first portion of the sensor data, the first portion being associated with a region of the environment that is within a threshold distance to the matched feature; compressing the sensor data to reduce a second portion of the sensor data; and causing the vehicle to wirelessly transmit the compressed sensor data. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
