Abstract
Context-based data valuation and transmission, including: acquiring sensor data from a plurality of sensors of the autonomous vehicle, wherein the sensor data comprises a plurality of portions and the plurality of sensors comprises at least two cameras; determining, for each portion of the sensor data, a value based on one or more conditions under which the sensor data was captured; determining, based on the values for the sensor data, an upload policy; and transmitting, based on the upload policy, one or more portions of the sensor data to a server.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- acquiring sensor data from a plurality of sensors of an autonomous vehicle, wherein the sensor data comprises a plurality of portions and the plurality of sensors comprises at least two cameras;
- determining, for each portion of the sensor data, a transmission cost and a value based on one or more conditions under which the sensor data was captured, wherein the one or more conditions comprise whether the sensor data was captured on a highway or a surface street;
- determining, based on the values and the transmission costs for the sensor data, an upload policy;
- and
- transmitting, based on the upload policy, one or more portions of the sensor data to a server.
An apparatus configured to perform steps comprising:
- acquiring sensor data from a plurality of sensors of an autonomous vehicle, wherein the sensor data comprises a plurality of portions and the plurality of sensors comprises at least two cameras;
- determining, for each portion of the sensor data, a transmission cost and a value based on one or more conditions under which the sensor data was captured,
- wherein the one or more conditions comprise whether the sensor data was captured on a highway or a surface street;
- determining, based on the values and the transmission costs for the sensor data, an upload policy;
- and
- transmitting, based on the upload policy, one or more portions of the sensor data to a server.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions that, when executed, cause a computer system to carry out the steps of:
- acquiring sensor data from a plurality of sensors of an autonomous vehicle, wherein the sensor data comprises a plurality of portions and the plurality of sensors comprises at least two cameras;
- determining, for each portion of the sensor data, a transmission cost and a value based on one or more conditions under which the sensor data was captured, wherein the one or more conditions comprise whether the sensor data was captured on a highway or a surface street;
- determining, based on the values and the transmission costs for the sensor data, an upload policy;
- and
- transmitting, based on the upload policy, one or more portions of the sensor data to a server.
