Abstract
A data capture control and communication control method for an autonomous device (e.g., SLAM-enabled) may include requesting an adjustment of a framerate of the sensor of the first device for obtaining additional image data or a request for an adjustment of image resolution, framerate or other parameters of additional image data to be received from the SLAM device, according to the speed of the SLAM device or a distance of the SLAM device from nearby objects. Also, map data of a device region of the SLAM device initially used for guiding the device may be updated if higher quality image data is received, to aid in improved navigating of the device region based on the updated map data.
Claims21
(canceled)
A method comprising:
- determining a speed of a vehicle or a distance of the vehicle from one or more objects;
- capturing, by a sensor of a device in the vehicle, first data at a first data capture rate or at a first resolution;
- determining, by the device, based at least in part on the speed of the vehicle or on the distance of the vehicle from the one or more objects, one or more of an adjusted data capture rate or an adjusted resolution;
- and
- causing capturing, by the sensor of the device, of second data at the adjusted data capture rate or the adjusted resolution.
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- control circuitry configured to:
- determine a speed of a vehicle or a distance of the vehicle from one or more objects;
- capture, by a sensor of a device in the vehicle, first data at a first data capture rate or at the first resolution;
- determine, by the device, based at least in part on the speed of the vehicle or on the distance of the vehicle from the one or more objects, one or more of an adjusted data capture rate or an adjusted resolution, and to store in the memory the adjusted data capture rate or the adjusted resolution;
- and
- cause capturing, by the sensor of the device, of second data at the adjusted data capture rate or the adjusted resolution.
