Navigation using sensor fusion

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, at a computer, data from two or more sensors included in the computer, the two or more sensors including a camera and another sensor;
• synchronizing the received data from the two or more sensors so that the data from the camera corresponds in time to the data from the other sensor;
• determining a first subset of the synchronized data from the camera for a period of time and a second subset of the synchronized data from the other sensor for the period of time, the first subset of the synchronized data and the second subset of the synchronized data each being representative of movement of the computer and the first subset of the synchronized data being representative of objects in a physical area surrounding a physical location of the computer;
• determining a plurality of feature points of the physical area using at least the first subset of the synchronized data and the second subset of the synchronized data;
• determining, using at least the first subset of the synchronized data, that at least one of the plurality of feature points represents a moving object;
• and
• creating a map using one or more of the plurality of feature points, the one or more of the plurality of feature points not including the at least one of the plurality of feature points that represents the moving object.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a computer and upon such execution cause the computer to perform operations comprising:

• receiving data from two or more sensors included in the computer, the two or more sensors including a camera and another sensor;
• synchronizing the received data from the two or more sensors so that the data from the camera corresponds in time to the data from the other sensor;
• determining a first subset of the synchronized data from the camera for a period of time and a second subset of the synchronized data from the other sensor for the period of time, the first subset of the synchronized data and the second subset of the synchronized data each being representative of movement of the computer and the first subset of the synchronized data being representative of objects in a physical area surrounding a physical location of the computer;
• determining a plurality of feature points of the physical area using at least the first subset of the synchronized data and the second subset of the synchronized data;
• determining, using at least the first subset of the synchronized data, that at least one of the plurality of feature points represents a moving object;
• and
• creating a map using one or more of the plurality of feature points, the one or more of the plurality of feature points not including the at least one of the plurality of feature points that represents the moving object.
