US 2026/0043886 A1 · COMPUTING LOCALIZATION UNCERTAINTY FOR DEVICES OPERATING IN DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

A first device can determine a map of an environment that includes a plurality of elements. The first device can further determine a localization uncertainty level (“LUL”) within the map. The first device can further determine a dynamicity level (“D_map”) for a portion of the plurality of elements in the map. The first device can further determine a new LUL (“LUL_new”) based on the LUL and the D_map. The first device can further provide the LUL_new to a second device in the environment.
