Data Active Learning Model Training Selection Engine Deployed Model / Data Gathering Finding and solving edge cases is critical to the deployment of safe self-driving Our Active Learning pipeline is fed by uploading fleet data to our cloud-based selection engine The selection engine identifies edge cases by uniformly sampling and analyzing detection uncertainty for object existence, class and position across multiple permutations of the deployed model, culminating with a rank order of relative data value With the most valuable data automatically identified, we can focus our labeling and training efforts to provide the quickest, most effective feedback loop for the Embark Driver – resulting in constantly improving performance 11#12Vision Map Fusion & Scene Understanding Enable Robustness Moving Beyond Brittle, Map-Centric Approaches Vision Map Fusion Using proprietary techniques, Vision Map Fusion uses a non-linear optimization approach to fuse local vehicle poses with global map geometry in real-time, enabling on-the-fly map corrections Making map corrections in real-time allows for dramatically improved accuracy and robustness of near-field lane geometry estimation, while also unifying the corrected near-field topology with the far- field map to create a static scene used in downstream operations Our approach is designed to be less map reliant and more capable of handling the constantly changing road environment By correcting map errors on the fly, Vision Map Fusion can facilitate safer, more scalable, and more efficient operations compared to alternative map-centric approaches W NORTHERN GENESIS II Grady Williams ● PhD Robotics from Georgia Tech Creator of MPPI (Model Predictive Path Integral) algorithm Widely cited in vehicle control,
