Abstract
A time-aware occupancy mapping using regression to unknown ('RTU') analysis, and an apparatus to dynamically allocate occupancy probability to a cell in an environment to thereby form a time-aware occupancy map of the environment are disclosed. The apparatus includes a memory circuitry in communication with a processor circuitry, the memory circuitry configured to receive and store probability information from the processor circuitry and to store the probability value and its corresponding time stamp at a probability table. The processor circuitry may be configured to, among others: (1) receive occupancy information, the occupancy information defining whether a first of a plurality of cells (and) in the environment is occupied; (2) determine a first probability value that the first cell is occupied at a first point in time; (3) direct the first probability value and its corresponding timestamp to the memory circuitry to store; (4) determine a second probability value that the first cell is occupied at a second point in time, the second point in time defined by a lapsed interval from the first point in time to the second point in time; and (5) update the memory circuitry to store the second probability value and its corresponding timestamp.
