Abstract

Examples disclosed herein involve a computing system configured to (i) obtain (a) a first set of sensor data captured by a first sensor system of a first vehicle that indicates the first vehicle's movement and location with a first degree of accuracy and (b) a second set of sensor data captured by a second sensor system of a second vehicle that indicates the second vehicle's movement and location with a second degree of accuracy that differs from the first degree of accuracy, (ii) based on the first set of sensor data, derive a first trajectory for the first vehicle that is defined in terms of a source-agnostic coordinate frame, (iii) based on the second set of sensor data, derive a second trajectory for the second vehicle that is defined in terms of the source-agnostic coordinate frame, and (iv) store the first and second trajectories in a database of source-agnostic trajectories.
