Latest Patents
Valde's latest patents include a method, apparatus, and computer program product for mapping and modeling a three-dimensional structure. This invention provides a method for generating a three-dimensional vector model of the interior of a structure. The process involves receiving sensor data indicative of a trajectory and defining structural surfaces within a structure. It generates a three-dimensional point cloud from the sensor data and segments it into two or more segments based on the trajectory data. The invention culminates in the creation of a three-dimensional surface model that can be utilized by advanced driver assistance systems to facilitate autonomous vehicle parking.
Another notable patent is the generation of a link node routing graph using a straight skeleton algorithm. In this invention, a processor identifies a navigable space and generates a polygon from it. The processor then calculates skeleton lines from the polygon using a topological algorithm and generates a routing graph from the center segments.
