Abstract
A computing system may receive a map of features in an environment. The computing system may identify one or more regions of the map for data collection. The computing system may receive sensor data from a plurality of devices. The sensor data may be associated with one or more periods of time when the sensor data was collected by the plurality of devices. The computing system may determine a likelihood of one or more devices being within a portion of the environment that corresponds to the one or more regions of the map for data collection during a future period of time. The computing device may provide a request for given sensor data from the one or more devices based on the likelihood. The given sensor data may be associated with the future period of time.
