Abstract

Techniques for representing a scene or map based on statistical data of captured environmental data are discussed herein. In some cases, the data (such as covariance data, mean data, or the like) may be stored as a multi-resolution voxel space that includes a plurality of semantic layers. In some instances, individual semantic layers may include multiple voxel grids having differing resolutions. Multiple multi-resolution voxel spaces may be merged or aligned to generate combined scenes based on detected voxel covariances at one or more resolutions.
