Converting Autonomous Robotics sensor data into a human readable 3D environment
00Research revealed that map surface areas beyond the sidewalk where pedestrians can directly access the road surface, are not required.
01Road surface data should replicate public roads, as it optimized operator contextual awareness.
*Intentionally Blurred
00Operator observation and inquiry provided task and information requirements, an essential element being the intended & modified behaviors of the AV Stack.
01Visualization of errors, critical events and urgent status changes are required within the area of focus, a 15° field of view cone for each operator.
00Operators when intervening with on-road scenarios, require accurate object footprints and proximity to resolve use cases.
01Unique object shapes by classification type improved operators speed to obtain situational awareness.
