Description

信息处理方法及相关装置、系统
本申请要求于2022年4月12日递交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为202210379605.0、申请名称为“信息处理方法及相关装置、系统”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及地图领域,更具体地,涉及信息处理方法及相关装置、系统。
背景技术
随着自动驾驶的发展,高精度地图的重要性日渐提升。为了保障自动驾驶的安全与高效,高精度地图需要保持足够的鲜度和丰富度。
高精度地图不仅包括了例如道路、交通标识线、交通标志牌等时效性低、变化频率低的地图要素,还包括了例如道路施工、交通信息流等时效性高、变化频率高的地图要素。更加丰富的地图要素以及地图要素更加高频的更新需求,使得地图数据量变得越来越大,从而地图数据的生成、传输或处理等环节面临着较大的压力
发明内容
本申请提供一种信息处理方法及相关装置、系统,以期缓解地图数据的生成、传输或处理等环节中面临的地图数据量压力。
第一方面,本申请提供了一种信息处理方法,该方法可以由信息处理装置执行,还可以由能够实现全部或部分信息处理装置的功能的逻辑模块或软件实现,本申请对此不作限定。该信息处理装置例如可以包括但不限于,终端设备、路侧设备或服务器等,以及配置在终端设备、路侧设备或服务器等中的部件(如芯片、芯片系统等)。
示例性地,该方法包括:获取指示信息,所述指示信息包括第一信元,所述第一信元用于指示以下内容中的至少一项:第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性、所述第一空间区域的地图信息的更新频率、所述第一空间区域的地图信息的数据格式和所述第一空间区域的地图信息的数据处理方式;基于所述指示信息和来自感知设备的感知信息,生成第一地图信息,所述第一地图信息用于指示所述第一空间区域内的第一地图要素;发送所述第一地图信息。
应理解,第一方面中的信息处理装置例如可以对应于下文实施例中的信息处理装置A。第一方面中的第一地图信息例如可对应于下文实施例中的地图信息A,第一方面中的第一地图要素例如可对应于下文实施例中的地图要素A。
还应理解,该第一地图信息中的第一地图要素可以为一个或多个地图要素。本申请并不限定第一地图要素的数量。当该第一信元用于指示动静态属性、更新频率、数据格式和数据处理方式中的至少一项时,该第一空间区域的地图要素或地图信息具有相同的属性特征。例如,当该第一信元用于指示第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态 属性时,该第一空间区域内的地图要素具有相同的动静态属性;当该第一信元用于指示第一空间区域的地图信息的更新频率时,该第一空间区域的地图信息基于相同的更新频率处理或传输;当该第一信元用于指示第一空间区域的地图信息的数据格式时,该第一空间区域的地图信息基于相同的数据格式生成或传输;该第一空间区域的地图信息基于相同的数据处理方式时,该第一空间区域的地图信息基于相同的数据处理方式处理。
基于上述技术内容,指示信息针对第一空间区域的地图要素或地图信息进行指示,第一空间区域是根据地图要素或地图信息的属性特征在地图中划分出的空间区域,在该区域内的地图要素或地图信息具有共同的属性特征,通过指示信息针对第一空间区域的地图要素或地图信息进行指示,可以使地图信息处理装置以适合于该共同的属性特征的方式生成或发送地图信息,从而缓解数据量过大对地图的生成、传输或处理等环节造成的压力。具体地,该共同的属性特征可以体现为第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性、所述第一空间区域的地图信息的更新频率、所述第一空间区域的地图信息的数据格式和所述第一空间区域的地图信息的数据处理方式。例如:如果第一空间区域内的地图要素均为动态要素,则地图信息处理装置可以基于第一信元指示的动静态属性,生成以用于指示动态要素的数据格式进行编码的第一空间区域的地图信息;和/或,基于第一信元指示的数据格式,以用于指示动态要素的数据格式对第一空间区域的第一地图信息进行编码或者传输;和/或,基于第一信元指示的数据处理方式,以适合于动态要素的数据处理方式对第一地图信息进行处理;和/或,基于第一信元指示的更新频率,更新或者发送第一地图信息。又例如:如果第一空间区域内的地图要素均为静态要素,则地图信息处理装置可以基于第一信元指示的动静态属性,生成以用于指示静态要素的数据格式进行编码的第一空间区域的地图信息;和/或,基于第一信元指示的数据格式,以用于指示静态要素的数据格式对第一空间区域的第一地图信息进行编码或者传输;和/或,基于第一信元指示的数据处理方式,以适合于静态要素的数据处理方式对第一空间区域的地图信息进行处理;和/或,基于第一信元指示的更新频率,更新或者发送第一空间区域的地图信息。该技术方案体现出了对空间区域的切分,通过对个别空间区域进行针对性的指示,避免了地图中所有空间区域都采用相同的处理方式,避免了用于兼顾所有地图要素的处理方式带来的数据冗余。例如,静态要素的编码字段较少,动态要素的编码字段较多,则生成具备静态属性的空间区域的地图数据时,没有必要添加动态要素具有而静态要素不具有的编码字段。又例如,静态要素的地图信息更新频率较低,动态要素的地图信息更新频率较高,则发送具备静态属性的空间区域的地图数据时,没有必要采用较高的发送频率。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些可能的实现方式中,所述指示信息还包括第二信元,所述第二信元用于指示所述第一空间区域的三维空间范围。
也就是说,第一空间区域为三维空间区域。该指示信息中的第二信元具体可以是该第一空间区域的三维空间表达。因此,信息处理装置可以基于该第二信元来确定第一空间区域,进而针对该三维空间范围来生成第一地图信息。
下文提供了基于指示信息和感知信息生成第一地图信息的两种可能的实现方式。
在第一种实现方式中,所述基于所述指示信息和来自感知设备的感知信息,生成 所述第一地图信息,包括:基于所述第二信元,从所述感知信息中提取所述三维空间范围内的第一感知信息;基于所述第一信元和所述第一感知信息生成所述第一地图信息。
信息处理装置可以从感知信息中提取对应于该第一空间区域的第一感知信息,进而基于第一感知信息进行要素提取,并基于提取到的地图要素及第一信元生成第一地图信息;而对于该感知信息中的其他感知信息,可以暂不做处理。换言之,信息处理装置不必对所有的感知信息进行处理和上报,而是有针对性地对第一感知信息进行处理和上报,也即,可以减少数据处理量和数据传输量。
在第二种实现方式中,所述基于所述指示信息和来自感知设备的感知信息,生成所述第一地图信息,包括:基于所述感知信息进行要素提取,得到地图要素;基于所述第二信元,从所述地图信息中提取所述三维空间范围内的第一地图要素;基于所述第一信元和所述第一地图要素生成所述第一地图信息。
信息处理装置可以先基于感知信息进行要素提取,得到地图要素,然后基于第二信元所指示的第一空间区域的三维空间范围,从地图要素中提取出对应于第一空间区域的第一地图要素,进而基于第一地图要素及第一信元生成第一地图信息。而对于除第一空间区域之外的其他地图要素信息,信息处理装置可以暂不必对其进行处理和上报,因此,也可以减少数据处理量和数据传输量。
应理解,地图要素是基于感知信息提取到的,第一地图要素和第一感知信息均可对应于第一空间区域的三维空间范围。故地图要素与感知信息对应,第一地图要素与第一感知信息对应。本申请并不限定地图要素的数量及第一地图信息所包含的地图要素的数量。
结合第一方面或第二方面,在某些可能的实现方式中,所述获取指示信息,包括:生成所述指示信息,或接收所述指示信息。
比如,该信息处理装置为服务器,服务器可自行生成该指示信息。又比如,该信息处理装置为路侧设备、终端设备等,该路侧设备、终端设备等可以从服务器接收该指示信息。本申请对此不作限定。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些可能的实现方式中,所述动静态属性为:动态和静态中的一种,或者,动态、半动态、半静态和静态中的一种。
应理解,动静态属性是基于空间区域内地图要素不同的变化频率做出的划分,基于不同的变化频率,可以分为动态和静态,也可以分为动态、半动态、半静态和静态。本申请包含但不限于此。
进一步地,当所述指示信息指示所述动静态属性时,所述第一地图要素具备所述动静态属性。
应理解,第一地图信息中的第一地图要素可以为一个或多个地图要素。本申请并不限定第一地图要素的数量。当指示信息指示动静态属性时,该第一地图信息中的第一地图要素均具备指示信息所指示的动静态属性。换言之,该第一地图信息中的第一地图要素具备相同的动静态属性。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些可能的实现方式中,所述数据格式为用于指示静态要素的数据格式或用于指示动态要素的数据格式。
数据格式可用于定义地图信息的格式。例如,可用于定义在地图信息中承载哪些内容,各项内容对应的字段,还可用于定义各项内容在地图信息中采用怎样的编码方式来编码。
例如,若将动静态属性分为动态属性和静态属性,则对应的数据格式可包括用于指示动态要素的数据格式和用于指示静态要素的数据格式。因此,可以避免地图中所有空间区域都采用相同的数据格式来生成地图信息,避免用于兼顾所有地图要素的数据格式带来的数据冗余,从而有利于缓解地图数据的生成、传输等缓解的压力。
进一步地,当所述指示信息指示所述数据格式时,所述生成所述第一地图信息,包括:生成具有所述数据格式的第一地图信息;和/或,所述发送所述第一地图信息,包括:以所述数据格式发送所述第一地图信息。
信息处理装置可以根据指示信息所指示的数据格式,来生成满足相应数据格式的第一地图信息,并可基于将第一地图信息以上述数据格式的形式进行传输。
一种可能的设计是,数据格式与动静态属性一一对应。
信息处理装置可以基于指示信息所指示的数据格式,确定第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性,并基于该动静态属性,采用相应的更新频率和/或数据处理方式进行第一地图信息的处理和上报。换言之,上述指示信息可以在指示数据格式的同时隐式地指示第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性、第一空间区域的地图信息的更新频率和数据处理方式等,从而可以节省指示信息的信令开销。
应理解,数据格式也可以不与动静态属性一一对应,比如,半静态属性、半动态属性和动态属性也可以对应于同一数据格式;又比如,半静态属性和静态属性对应于一种数据格式,半动态属性和动态属性对应于另一种数据格式,等等。在数据格式不与动静态属性一一对应的情况下,数据格式不能用于隐式地指示第一空间区域的地图信息的动静态属性、更新频率、数据处理方式等。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些可能的实现方式中,当所述指示信息指示更新频率时,所述发送所述第一地图信息,包括:基于所述更新频率发送所述第一地图信息。
信息处理装置可以根据指示信息所指示的更新频率来发送第一地图信息。换言之,对于不同的动静态属性的空间区域,可以采用不同的更新频率来发送地图信息。
如前所述,不同的动静态属性可以对应不同的更新频率,而不同的动静态属性也可以对应不同的数据格式、不同的数据处理方式。因此,上述指示信息可以在指示更新频率的同时隐式地指示第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性、第一空间区域的地图信息的数据格式和数据处理方式等,从而可以节省指示信息的信令开销。
应理解,更新频率也可以不与动静态属性一一对应。比如,半静态属性、半动态属性和动态属性也可以对应于同一更新频率;又比如,半静态属性和静态属性对应于一种更新频率,半动态属性和动态属性对应于另一种更新频率,等等。在更新频率不与动静态属性一一对应的情况下,更新频率不能用于隐式地指示第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性、第一空间区域的地图信息的数据格式、第一空间区域的地图信息的数据处理方式等。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些可能的实现方式中,该方法还包括:接收第二 地图信息,所述第二地图信息用于指示所述第一空间区域内的第二地图要素;当所述第一信元用于指示所述动静态属性、所述数据格式和所述数据处理方式中的至少一项时,所述方法还包括:根据所述指示信息从所述第二地图信息中获取所述第二地图要素的信息;当所述第一信元用于指示所述更新频率时,所述接收第二地图信息包括:基于所述更新频率接收所述第二地图信息。
应理解,第一方面中的第二地图信息例如可对应于下文实施例中的地图信息B和/或地图信息C,第一方面中的第二地图要素例如可对应于下文实施例中的地图要素B和/或地图要素C。
信息处理装置可以从其他设备接收到第一空间区域的地图信息,如第二地图信息,并可以基于第一信元所指示的信息来处理或接收第二地图信息。例如,如果第一空间区域内的地图要素均为动态要素,则该信息处理装置可以基于第一信元指示的动静态属性、数据格式和数据处理方式中的至少一项,从第二地图信息中获取动态要素的信息;和/或,基于第一信元指示的数据格式,以用于指示动态要素的数据格式对第二地图信息进行解码;和/或,基于第一信元指示的更新频率,接收第二地图信息。又例如,如果第一空间区域内的地图要素均为静态要素,则信息处理装置可以基于第一信元指示的动静态属性、数据格式和数据处理方式中的至少一项,从第二地图信息中获取动态要素的信息,从第二地图信息中获取静态要素的信息;和/或,基于第一信元指示的数据格式,以用于指示静态要素的数据格式对第二地图信息进行解码;和/或,基于第一信元指示的更新频率,接收第二地图信息。
如此一来,该信息处理装置可以基于接收到的第二地图信息,获取第一空间区域中第二地图要素的信息。这有利于该信息处理装置获得更全面的地图信息,进而进行地图更新、规划控制等,从而有利于提高自动驾驶的安全性。
第二方面,本申请提供了一种信息处理方法,该方法可以由信息处理装置执行,还可以由能够实现全部或部分信息处理装置的功能的逻辑模块或软件实现,本申请对此不作限定。该信息处理装置例如可以包括但不限于,终端设备、路侧设备或服务器等,以及配置在终端设备、路侧设备或服务器等中的部件(如芯片、芯片系统等)。
示例性地,该方法包括:获取指示信息,所述指示信息包括第一信元,所述第一信元用于指示以下内容中的至少一项:第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性、所述第一空间区域的地图信息的更新频率、所述第一空间区域的地图信息的数据格式和所述第一空间区域的地图信息的数据处理方式;接收第一地图信息,所述第一地图信息用于指示所述第一空间区域内的第一地图要素;当所述第一信元用于指示所述动静态属性、所述数据格式和所述数据处理方式中的至少一项时,所述方法还包括:根据所述指示信息从所述第一地图信息中获取所述第一地图要素的信息;当所述第一信元用于指示所述更新频率时,所述接收第一地图信息包括:基于所述更新频率接收所述第一地图信息。

还应理解,该第一地图信息中的第一地图要素可以为一个或多个地图要素。本申请并不限定第一地图要素的数量。当该第一信元用于指示动静态属性、更新频率、数据格式和数据处理方式中的至少一项时,该第一空间区域的地图要素或地图信息具有相同的属性特征。例如,当该第一信元用于指示第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性时,该第一空间区域内的地图要素具有相同的动静态属性;当该第一信元用于指示第一空间区域的地图信息的更新频率时,该第一空间区域的地图信息基于相同的更新频率处理或传输;当该第一信元用于指示第一空间区域的地图信息的数据格式时,该第一空间区域的地图信息基于相同的数据格式生成或传输;该第一空间区域的地图信息基于相同的数据处理方式时,该第一空间区域的地图信息基于相同的数据处理方式处理。

此外,该信息处理装置可以基于接收到的第一地图信息,获取第一空间区域中第一地图要素的信息。这有利于该信息处理装置获得更全面的地图信息,进而进行地图更新、规划控制等,从而有利于提高自动驾驶的安全性。

应理解,对于任意一个设备而言,既可作为发送设备,也可作为接收设备。
示例性地,在具体实施中,在电子地图由服务器生成时,服务器可以基于基础地图和人工智能模型获得风险事件信息。其中,人工智能模型是根据历史事故数据进行 训练获得,历史事故数据包括历史事故的发生时段、事故区域、风险等级、事故区域在发生时段的环境信息和事故区域的道路状态信息等。在一些可能的实施例中,服务器可以基于数据源设备(例如,路面监测装置、路侧设备、终端设备等)检测到影响风险事件的要素发生变化时,服务器还可以根据变化后的要素更新风险事件信息。需要说明的是,基础地图可以是高精地图、标精地图或者其他类型的地图,本申请实施例在此不作具体限定。在一些可能的实施例中,数据源设备例如可以是交通管理部门提供交通路况数据的设备等。在此情况下,服务器可以作为电子地图的发布者,终端设备或路侧设备可以作为电子地图的接收者和使用者。
由于终端设备和路侧设备也具备信息获取能力和计算能力,因此,终端设备或路侧设备除了可以作为电子地图的接收者和使用者,也可以作为电子地图的生产者在本地生成该风险事件信息,供自身使用或者发送给其他的设备。
以终端设备作为电子地图的生产者为例,终端设备可以是车辆、OBU等装置。在此情况下,终端设备中存储有上述基础地图。终端设备可以基于自身当前的位置信息和/或自身的规划轨迹信息,从上述基础地图获取所在位置处或者一定地理区域范围内与风险事件相关的地图数据,例如环境预测信息或道路状态信息,结合人工智能模型生成包含一定地理区域范围内的风险事件信息的电子地图,以供自身使用,或者供其他设备使用。
发布电子地图时,既可以通过蜂窝通信网络,又可以通过车联网(vehicle to everything,V2X)进行发布。例如,云端的地图服务器向行人手持的便携终端设备发布电子地图,既可以通过包括基站在内的蜂窝通信网络进行发布,又可以通过V2X通信由路侧设备向便携终端转发。由于风险事件与周围环境中动态要素息息相关,在关联的动态要素的状态发生变化时,会相应地更新风险事件信息。
需要说明的是,上述各系统中,服务器与终端设备之间,终端设备与路侧设备之间,服务器与路侧设备之间的通信均可使用蜂窝通信技术,例如2G蜂窝通信,如全球移动通信系统(global system for mobile communication,GSM)、通用分组无线业务(general packet radio service,GPRS);或者3G蜂窝通信,如宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)、时分同步码分多址接入(time division-synchronous code division multiple access,TS-SCDMA)、码分多址接入(code division multiple access,CDMA);或者4G蜂窝通信,如长期演进(long term evolution,LTE);或者5G蜂窝通信,及其他演进的蜂窝通信技术等。无线通信系统也可利用非蜂窝通信技术,如Wi-Fi与无线局域网(wireless local area network,WLAN)通信。在一些实施例中,上述设备之间通信还可利用红外链路、蓝牙(bluetooth)或紫蜂(zigbee)进行直接通信。在一些实施例中,上述设备之间通信还可以采用其他无线协议,例如各种车辆通信系统,例如,系统中可包括一个或多个专用短程通信(dedicated short range communications,DSRC)设备,这些设备可包括车辆和/或路边台站之间的公共和/或私有数据通信,本申请不做具体限定。
需要说明的是,图1仅为示例性架构图,但不限定图1所示系统包括的网元的数量。虽然图1未示出,但除图1所示的功能实体外,图1还可以包括其他功能实体。另外,本申请实施例提供的方法可以应用于图1所示的系统,当然本申请实施例提供 的方法也可以适用其他通信系统,本申请实施例对此不予限制。
本申请实施例提供一种信息处理方法,通过指示信息来指示某一空间区域的动静态属性、更新频率、数据格式和数据处理方式中的一项或多项,使得感知设备可以基于该指示信息来合理地进行数据处理,比如将不同动静态属性的空间区域区分处理、按照不同的更新频率处理和上报不同空间区域的地图信息等等,如此一来,便可不同的空间区域的地图信息区分处理和上报,而不必在每次上报地图信息时,针对所有的感知信息进行处理和上报,因此可以减少数据处理量,减少对设备的算力要求。此外,由于不必对所有的感知信息都进行处理和上报,也可以减少上报的数据量,减小对传输带宽的需求。
下面将结合附图对本申请实施例提供的信息处理方法做详细说明。
为方便理解下文的实施例,首先对下文涉及到的术语进行介绍。
1、地图:地图是地理信息的载体。地图包括多个图层(layer)。图层是具有特定组织结构的地图数据集。图层中的数据以一定的数据结构进行组织,能够描述多种来源的地图要素。例如图1中的道路、车道线、建筑、行人、车辆、交通标志牌、路侧设备等均为地图要素。
根据地图要素的时变性,可以将地图要素区分不同的动静态属性。
在一种可能的设计中,地图要素可分为静态要素和动态要素两种类型。其中,静态要素是元素是比较固定、变化小或者更新周期较长的地图要素,例如道路、建筑物、车道线、车道方向或交通基础设施布局等;动态要素是具有较强时变特性的地图要素,也可以称为事件,例如,交通事故、天气变化、路面结冰、道路施工或交通拥堵情况等。
在地图中,静态要素和动态要素被记录于不同的图层,例如,关于静态要素的信息由地图中的静态图层承载,关于动态要素的信息由地图中的动态图层承载。换言之,地图的静态图层中的数据可以称为元素或静态要素,地图的动态图层中的数据可以称为事件或动态要素。
地图中可以包括一个或多个静态图层,还可以进一步包括一个或多个动态图层。例如,某地图包括一个静态图层和多个动态图层,静态图层中记录了建筑物、道路、树木、交通灯和道路指示牌的地理分布,动态图层1记录了车道的实时限速情况、交通施工情况和人流车流情况,动态图层2记录了天气情况,例如晴天、下雨、下雪、刮风、温度或湿度等。
在另一种可能的设计中,地图要素也可以分为静态要素、半静态要素、半动态要素和动态要素四种类型。其中,静态要素是元素是比较固定、变化小或者更新周期较长的地图要素,例如包括道路、建筑物等,这些地图要素在一般情况下不会改变,更新周期较长,例如按月、天来计;半静态要素相比与静态要素来说,是有相对变化,但变化频率不高的要素,例如包括道路施工、气象信息等,这类地图要素的更新周期可以以小时或分钟来计;半动态要素可以包括路面随时的交通事故、交通拥堵等,这类地图要素的更新周期可以小于1分钟;动态要素可以包括实时更新的信息,例如包括车辆、行人等,这类地图要素的更新周期可以用秒计。
基于这样的划分,静态要素、半静态要素、半动态要素和动态要素被记录于不同 的图层,例如,关于静态要素的信息由地图中的静态图层承载,关于半静态要素的信息由地图中的半静态图层承载,关于半动态要素的信息由地图中的半动态图层承载,关于动态要素的信息由地图中的动态图层承载。
地图中可以包括一个或多个静态图层、一个或多个半静态图层、一个或多个半动态图层,以及一个或多个动态图层。各图层承载的信息可参看前文对静态图层和动态图层的举例,此处不再赘述。
可以理解的是,不管对地图要素如何分类,其实质都是根据地图要素的时变性而进行的划分,只是划分的类别数量不同。
需要说明的是,对于某个地图描述对象而言,其可能兼具时变性的地图要素和非时变性的地图要素,非时变性的地图要素是指比较固定、变化较小或者更新周期较长的地图要素,即该描述对象既与地图中的元素相关,也与地图中的事件相关。例如,针对某一个车道,该车道的地理位置为地图中的元素,该车道的交通流量为地图中的事件,该车道的限速为地图中的事件,该车道的允许通行时段为地图中的事件。针对某一个交通灯,该交通灯在路口中的位置为地图中的元素,该交通灯的亮灯变化为地图中的事件。
2、路网结构数据:地图中的路网结构数据可分为瓦片级、道路级和车道级。地图中的每个瓦片有唯一的瓦片标识(identification,ID),每个瓦片内包括多条道路,每条道路有唯一的道路ID,每条道路又包括多条车道,每条车道有唯一的车道ID。其中,瓦片可以理解为:将一定范围内的地图按照一定的尺寸和格式,以及不同的地图分辨率,切成若干行和列的矩形栅格图片,对切片后的矩形栅格图片称为瓦片(tile)。
下面结合附图来描述本申请实施例提供的信息处理方法。下文所示的信息处理方法可以由信息处理装置来执行,也可以由能够实现全部或部分信息处理装置的功能的逻辑模块或软件实现,本申请对此不作限定。该信息处理装置例如可以包括但不限于,终端设备、路侧设备或服务器等,以及配置在终端设备、路侧设备或服务器等中的部件(如芯片、芯片系统等)。
另外,为了方便区分和说明,将用于执行图2所示的方法200的信息处理装置记为信息处理装置A,由信息处理装置A生成的地图信息记为地图信息A,地图信息A可用于指示第一空间区域的地图要素A;将用于执行图5所示的方法500的信息处理装置记为信息处理装置B,由信息处理装置B生成的地图信息记为地图信息B,地图信息B可用于指示第一空间区域的地图要素B;将用于执行图6所示的方法600的信息处理装置记为信息处理装置C,由信息处理装置C生成的地图信息记为地图信息C,地图信息C可用于指示第一空间区域的地图要素C。
应理解,地图信息A、地图信息B和地图信息C都为第一空间区域的地图信息,都可用于指示第一空间区域的地图要素,都可基于同一指示信息而生成。地图信息A、地图信息B和地图信息C所指示的地图要素可以相同,也可以不同。地图要素A、地图要素B和地图要素C分别可以包括一个或多个地图要素,且地图要素A、地图要素B和地图要素C可以相同,也可以不同。文中仅为便于区分不同的处理装置而命名,不应对地图信息、地图要素本身构成任何限定。
参看图2,图2是本申请实施例提供的信息处理方法200的示意性流程图。如图2 所示,该信息处理方法200可以包括步骤210至步骤230。下面详细说明方法200中的各个步骤。
在步骤210中,信息处理装置A获取指示信息,该指示信息用于指示以下内容中的至少一项:第一空间区域的地图要素的动静态属性、第一空间区域的地图信息的更新频率、第一空间区域的地图信息的数据格式和第一空间区域的地图信息的数据处理方式。
如前所述,对地图中的空间区域进行划分,可以得到多个不同的空间区域。本文中以第一空间区域作为示例来描述本申请提供的方法。该第一空间区域可以是地图中的任意一个空间区域。与此对应,该第一空间区域内的感知信息可以记为第一感知信息。该第一空间区域的地图信息可以记为第一地图信息。
其中,该地图可以是该信息处理装置A此前就预存的地图,如,服务器预存在本地的,或终端设备、路侧设备等从服务器获取到的。需要说明的是,由于服务器可能会频繁地对地图进行更新,故作为信息处理装置A的终端设备、路侧设备等设备所持有的地图并不一定是服务器所持有的最新版本的地图。换言之,信息处理装置A所持有的地图和服务器中的地图可能是不同版本的地图,也可能是同一版本的地图。
在本申请实施例中,为便于区分和说明,将服务器持有的最新版本的地图记为参考地图。服务器可以基于该参考地图进行空间区域的划分,并针对每个空间区域生成指示信息;还可基于接收到的地图信息对参考地图进行更新。该第一空间区域可以是由服务器对参考地图中的空间区域划分得到,并下发给作为信息处理装置A的终端设备、路侧设备等,或者也可以由作为信息处理装置A的终端设备、路侧设备、服务器等自行对自身持有的地图中的空间区域进行划分得到,本申请对此不作限定。
一示例,若信息处理装置A包括终端设备和/或路侧设备,服务器对参考地图中的空间区域进行划分后,可针对每个空间区域生成指示信息,下发至终端设备和路侧设备。换言之,步骤210中的信息处理装置A获取指示信息可以包括:信息处理装置A接收指示信息。
另一示例,若信息处理装置A包括服务器、终端设备或路侧设备,信息处理装置A可执行对自身持有的地图中的空间区域进行划分,并针对每个空间区域生成指示信息。换言之,步骤210中的信息处理装置A获取指示信息可以包括:信息处理装置A确定指示信息。
由于各空间区域的划分可以基于地图中各地图要素的空间分布特点确定。也就是说,在划分得到第一空间区域时,该第一空间区域的动静态属性便可以确定。
若该第一空间区域是由服务器确定的,则该指示信息是来自服务器的指示信息。该指示信息不但用于指示第一空间区域的地图要素中的动静态属性、第一空间区域的更新频率、第一空间区域的数据格式及第一空间区域的数据处理方式中的一项或多项,还可用于指示第一空间区域的三维空间范围。
一种可能的设计是,该指示信息包括第一信元和第二信元,第一信元用于指示该第一空间区域的地图要素的动静态属性、第一空间区域的更新频率、第一空间区域的数据格式及第一空间区域的数据处理方式中的一项或多项;第二信元用于指示第一空间区域的三维空间范围。
信息处理装置A接收到该指示信息,便可基于第二信元确定第一空间区域,从而可以基于第一信元对第一空间区域内的感知信息(也即上述第一感知信息)进行处理。
下面分别该指示信息所指示的内容做详细说明。
1)第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性:
基于前述的对地图要素的分类,以及不同的地图要素的空间分布特点,本申请实施例中对空间区域进行了划分,使得同一区域内的地图要素对应于相同的动静态属性。例如,动静态属性可以包括:静态属性和动态属性,或者也可以包括静态属性、半静态属性、半动态属性和动态属性。
第一空间区域内的地图要素可以具有相同的动静态属性,比如为静态属性和动态属性中的一种,或者为静态属性、半静态属性、半动态属性和动态属性中的一种。本申请对此不作限定。
在一种可能的设计中,空间区域可以根据地图中各地图要素的动静态属性的空间分布特点来划分,将具有同一动静态属性的地图要素所在的空间区域定义为同一空间区域。当然,对空间区域的划分方式也并不限于此。由于前述的设计对空间区域的划分精度可能较高,导致被划分的空间区域较多。在另一种可能的设计中,可以根据地图中各地图要素的动静态属性的空间分布特点,将具有同一动静态属性的地图要素的占比高于某一阈值的空间区域定义为一个空间区域,由此而划分得到的空间区域可以是一个连续的空间区域。在完成了对空间区域的划分后,同一空间区域内的地图要素可以定义成相同的动静态属性,以便于后续采用相同的处理方式来生成和发送地图信息。相比而言,这种设计对空间区域的划分精度不及前一种设计精细,但是可以大大减小计算复杂度。
应理解,对地图中空间区域的划分并不限于上文的列举。例如在对空间区域进行划分时,还可结合空间区域的大小、同一空间区域中各地图要素可能带来的安全隐患等因素来考虑,本申请包含但不限于此。
为了便于区分不同的空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性,还可以将空间区域与动静态属性关联。例如,可以将第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性定义为该第一空间区域的动静态属性。第一空间区域的动静态属性例如可以为静态属性和动态属性中的一种,或者可以为静态属性、半静态属性、半动态属性和动态属性中的一种。此情况下,指示信息用于指示第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性,也可以替换为,指示信息用于指示第一空间区域的动静态属性。
图3示出了将图1中的地图划分后得到的一部分空间区域。应理解,图3所示的空间区域仅为示例,并未将图1中的空间区域全部遍历。可以看到,区域1、2、3、4、5均为建筑,属于静态要素,可以将这些区域的动静态属性定义为静态属性。区域6为道路及其垂直上空内的空间区域,由于在道路上空的一定高度范围内(比如2米的范围内)存在行人、车辆等交通流量,可以将此区域的动静态属性定义为动态属性。
应理解,应理解,图3所示的空间区域及其对应的动静态属性仅为便于理解而示例,不应对本申请构成任何限定。除了图3所示的空间区域,对图1中所示的空间进行划分还可得到更多的空间区域,例如在区域1至5周边一定高度范围内的区域中,也可能存在行人,因此也可将这些区域的动静态属性定义为动态属性。由于实际场景 中,交通环境远比图1所示更为复杂,基于预定义的类别数量,还可将空间区域定义为更多的动静态属性,比如静态、半静态、半动态和动态。此处不再一一附图说明。
由于地图信息用于反映空间区域中的地图要素的情况,若第一空间区域的动静态属性为动态属性,则该第一空间区域内的地图要素都可以按照对动态要素的数据处理方式来处理,和/或,按照动态要素的数据格式来生成地图信息,和/或,按照动态要素的更新频率来更新或发送地图信息;若第一空间区域的动静态属性为静态属性,则该第一空间区域内的地图要素都可以按照对静态要素的数据处理方式来处理,和/或,按照静态要素的地图数据格式来生成相应的地图信息,和/或,按照静态要素的更新频率来更新或发送地图信息。以此类推,不再赘述。
2)更新频率:
应理解,更新频率具体可以是指该信息处理装置A更新地图信息的频率,或者说发送地图信息的频率。对于信息处理装置A来说,地图信息的每一次更新依赖于上一次更新和本次更新的时间间隔(也即,更新周期)内采集到的感知信息。因此,更新频率越高,更新周期越短。如果第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性为动态属性,则可以使用较高的更新频率;如果第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性为静态要素,则可以使用较低的更新频率。
不同空间区域的地图信息可以对应于不同的更新频率。该指示信息在用于指示更新频率时,可直接指示该第一空间区域的更新频率。
3)数据格式:
数据格式可用于定义地图信息的格式。例如,可用于定义在地图信息中承载哪些内容,各项内容对应的字段,还可用于定义各项内容在地图信息中采用怎样的编码方式来编码。可以理解,按照某一数据格式生成地图信息后,该地图信息便可以该数据格式的形式来传输。
示例性地,可以将数据格式分为用于指示静态要素的数据格式和用于指示动态要素的数据格式。或者,也可以将数据格式分为用于指示静态要素的数据格式、用于指示半静态要素的数据格式、用于指示半动态要素的数据格式和用于指示动态要素的数据格式。
一种可能的设计是,用于指示动态要素的数据格式中包含用于承载运动信息的字段,用于指示静态要素的数据格式中不包含用于承载运动信息的字段。其中运动信息包括运动方向和/或运动速度。
这是因为不同动静态的地图要素可能存在不同程度的安全隐患。比如,动态要素变化频率高,存在安全隐患的风险也较高。因此可以通过运动信息予以指示,以便基于实时获取到的感知信息及时地更新地图。静态要素变化频率低,不需要基于实时获取到的感知信息频繁地更新地图。
除了是否包含用于运动信息的字段之外,用于指示动态要素的数据格式和用于指示动态要素的数据格式还可能存在其他不同。例如,用于指示静态要素、半静态要素的地图数据可通过差量来描述该静态要素、半静态要素的变化。如此,可以减少数据传输量,节省带宽。再例如,用于指示动态要素和用于指示静态要素的地图数据的编码方式也可以不同。为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
当然,基于对不同空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性的定义的不同,还可将数据格式分为更多可能的格式,比如相对于动态属性、半动态属性、半静态属性和静态属性,还可以将数据格式分为更多不同的格式,本申请对此不作限定。
4)数据处理方式:
数据处理方式具体可以是指,信息处理装置A对来自感知设备的感知信息的处理方式。在实际场景中,感知信息通常来自多个不同的感知设备,比如激光雷达、毫米波雷达、摄像头等,不同的感知设备所采集到的感知信息可能是从不同的角度、不同的位置采集到的,故采集到的感知信息可能是不同参考系下、不同位置的数据;而且来自不同感知设备的感知信息的数据类型也可能不同,例如可以能是点云数据,也可能是图像数据。因此数据处理具体可以包括但不限于,从感知信息中提取地图要素,对地图要素进行融合等。其中,融合就包括:将不同位置采集到的数据、不同坐标系下的数据、不同类型的数据,融合到一起,并在同一个坐标系下,以一种类型的数据来呈现。
用于数据处理的方式也有多种,有的数据处理方式较为复杂,计算耗时较长;有的数据处理方式较为简单,计算耗时较短。由于不同的空间区域内的地图要素可能对应不同的动静态属性,因此对于不同的空间区域内的地图要素的处理可以采用不同的数据处理方式。例如,对于动态要素,可以使用耗时较短的数据处理方式,以获得实时的数据;对于静态要素,可以使用耗时较长的数据处理方式,甚至还可将多个时间点的感知信息进行融合处理。
5)三维空间范围:
三维空间范围具体为空间区域的三维空间范围。在本申请实施例中,三维空间范围具体可通过空间区域的三维空间坐标来表达。例如,可以使用通用坐标系下的三维坐标来表达,该通用坐标系例如可以包括但不限于,地理坐标系(geographic coordinate system)、大地坐标系等;也可以使用相对坐标系下的三维坐标来表达,例如,将该第一空间区域的位置通过相对于参考地图中某一位置点的三维坐标来表达。本申请对此不作限定。
需要说明的是,信息处理装置A并不一定要持有参考地图。在信息处理装置A持有参考地图的情况下,上述指示信息中的第二信元可通过指示第一空间区域相对于参考地图中某一位置点的三维坐标的方式来指示第一空间区域的三维空间范围;在信息处理装置A未持有参考地图的情况下,上述指示信息中的第二信元可通过通用坐标系下的三维坐标来指示第一空间区域的三维空间范围。本申请对此并不予以限制。
如前所述,该指示信息可用于指示第一空间区域内地图要素的动静态属性、第一空间区域的地图信息的更新频率、第一空间区域的地图信息的数据格式和第一空间区域的地图信息的数据处理方式中的一项或多项。换言之,该指示信息可用于指示第一空间区域内地图要素的动静态属性、或更新频率、或第一空间区域的地图信息的数据格式、或第一空间区域的地图信息的数据处理方式,或者,也可以用于指示该四项中的任意多项。
在一种可能的设计中,对于第一空间区域来说,每一种动静态属性可对应以下一项或多项:第一地图信息的更新频率、第一地图信息的数据格式以及第一地图信息的 数据处理方式。换言之,信息处理装置A在确定了第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性后,便可基于与之对应的更新频率来对第一空间区域内的感知信息进行处理和上报,或基于与之对应的数据处理方式来对该第一空间区域的感知信息进行处理,或基于与之对应的数据格式来生成第一地图信息。
以更新频率与动静态属性的对应关系为例,不同地图要素的更新周期不同,故,基于上文对于动静态属性的划分,可以分别对不同动静态属性的地图要素定义不同的更新频率,或者说,对不同动静态属性的空间区域定义不同的更新频率。即,更新频率也可以与动静态属性一一对应。例如,对于动态属性的地图要素所在的空间区域,地图信息的更新频率最高,对于静态属性的地图要素所在的空间区域,地图信息的更新频率最低。也即,动态属性的空间区域的地图信息的更新频率最高,静态属性的空间区域的地图信息的更新频率最高。
若动静态属性包括静态属性和动态属性,则二者对应的更新频率由高到低依次为:动态属性、静态属性;若动静态属性包括静态属性、半静态属性、半动态属性和动态属性,则四者对应的更新频率由高到低依次为:动态属性、半动态属性、半静态属性、静态属性。
当然,更新频率也可以不与动静态属性一一对应。对于不同的动静态属性,也可以定义相同的更新频率。比如,静态属性和半静态属性对应于一种更新频率;动态属性和半动态属性对应于另一种更新频率。
可以理解的是,在更新频率也可以与动静态属性一一对应的情况下,动静态属性和更新频率这两项可以择一指示,也即,可通过动静态属性来隐式地指示更新频率,或通过更新频率来隐式地指示动静态属性。如此,可以减少指示信息的信令开销。
当然,即便更新频率不与动静态属性一一对应,但若将不同的动静态属性所对应的更新频率预先定义好,也可以通过动静态属性来隐式地指示更新频率。
数据格式、数据处理方式分别与动静态属性的对应关系与之相似,为了简洁,处处不一一举例详述。
可以理解的是,在多种动静态属性、多种更新频率、多种数据格式和多种数据处理方式存在一一对应的关系时,也可以对该四项择一指示,也即,通过其中的任意一项来隐式地指示其他三项中的任意一项,以减少指示信息的信令开销。
除了动静态属性、更新频率、数据格式、数据处理方式和三维空间范围之外,该指示信息还可用于指示第一空间区域的标识和/或参考地图信息。
可以理解,地图中可以包括除第一空间区域之外更多的空间区域。为了便于区分不同的空间区域,可以对不同的空间区域予以标识。第一空间区域的标识可用于在该地图中唯一地标识该第一空间区域。应理解,该地图可以是参考地图,也可以是信息处理装置A持有的地图。本申请对此不作限定。
一种可能的设计是,该第一空间区域的标识包括第一字段和第二字段,该第一字段用于承载区域标识,该区域标识为第一空间区域所属的瓦片、道路、车道等,与之对应的标识比如为瓦片标识、道路标识、车道标识等。该第二字段用于在该瓦片、道路、车道等范围内唯一标识该第一空间区域。
此外,空间区域的标识还可以用于标识空间区域的优先级,例如,将不同的空间 区域需要的不同关注度通过优先级来标识,进而便于信息处理装置A基于不同空间区域的优先级来获取感知信息,生成地图信息。
参考地图信息可用于指示参考地图的版本和/或供应商。通过指示参考地图信息,一方面可以便于不同的设备基于相同的参考地图来对齐第一空间区域的三维空间范围;另一方面,也可以便于信息处理装置A基于同一参考地图,将提取到的地图要素与之对比,生成第一地图信息,例如,可确定采集到的信息与参考地图中的信息是否有区别,进而确定变化信息,生成第一地图信息,降低数据传输量。
应理解,信息处理装置A并不一定持有参考地图,在未持有参考地图的情况下,信息处理装置A也可以基于先验的地图数据生成第一地图信息。
图4示例性地示出了该指示信息。图4所示的指示信息包括:第一信元、第二信元、第三信元和第四信元。其中,第一信元用于指示第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性、第一空间区域的地图信息的更新频率、第一空间区域的地图信息的数据格式和第一空间区域的地图信息的数据处理方式。第二信元用于指示第一空间区域的三维空间范围。第三信元用于指示第一空间区域的标识。第四信元用于指示参考地图信息,例如可包括参考地图的版本和参考地图的供应商。
应理解,图4所示的指示信息仅为示例,如前所述,该指示信息可以包括图4所列举中的各项信息中的一项或多项。为了简洁,此处不再赘述。还应理解,图4所示的指示信息的具体结构仅为示例,该指示信息也可以为其他结构,本申请包含但不限于此。
在步骤220中,信息处理装置A基于该指示信息和来自感知设备的感知信息,生成地图信息A,该第一地图信息用于指示第一空间区域的地图要素A。
其中,感知设备例如可以是信息处理装置A中配置的感知设备,也可以是与信息处理装置A存在通信连接的感知设备。感知设备可以是具有数据处理能力的设备,也可以是不具有数据处理能力的设备,本申请对此不作限定。
作为示例而非限定,感知设备例如包括路侧设备、终端设备(例如包括但不限于,车、车载终端等)、传感器(例如包括但不限于,激光雷达传感器、毫米波雷达传感器等)、摄像头等,以及由路侧设备和传感器和/或摄像头组合而成的系统、终端设备和传感器和/或摄像头组合而成的系统等。此处不再枚举。
由于感知设备采集到的感知信息不仅仅包含了第一空间区域内的感知信息,故信息处理装置A可以基于第一空间区域的三维空间范围,提取第一空间区域内的感知信息或地图要素,进而生成地图信息A。由于该地图信息A是基于第一空间区域内的感知信息生成,该感知信息包含了对第一空间区域内的地图要素实时采集到的信息,故该第一地图信息可用于指示第一空间区域内的地图要素A。
一种可能的实现方式是,基于第一空间区域的三维空间范围,从感知信息中提取该三维空间范围内的第一感知信息;并基于上述动静态属性、更新频率、数据格式和数据处理方式中的一项或多项,以及第一感知信息,生成地图信息A。如此得到的地图信息A可用于指示第一空间区域内的地图要素A。
也就是说,信息处理装置A可以先基于第一空间区域的空间划分,将感知信息中不属于该第一空间区域的感知信息排除,得到对应于第一空间区域的第一感知信息, 然后可基于第一感知信息进行处理,比如融合来自不同感知设备的感知信息、基于融合后的数据进行感知信息的提取等,再基于动静态属性、更新频率、数据格式和数据处理方式中的一项或多项,生成地图信息A。
另一种可能的实现方式是,基于所述感知信息进行要素提取,得到地图要素;基于第一空间区域的三维空间范围,从地图要素中确定该三维空间范围内的地图要素A;基于上述动静态属性、更新频率、数据格式和数据处理方式中的一项或多项,以及地图要素A,生成所述地图信息A。
也就是说,信息处理装置A可以先对来自各感知设备的感知信息分别进行要素提取,得到从各感知设备的感知信息中提取到的地图要素及其对应的空间信息,然后可基于第一空间区域的三维空间范围,将此前从各感知设备的感知信息中提取到的地图要素中属于该三维空间范围的地图要素确定为地图要素A,进而可基于地图要素A,对来自不同感知设备的数据进行融合,再基于动静态属性、更新频率、数据格式和数据处理方式中的一项或多项,第一地图信息A。
可选地,当指示信息用于指示第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性时,生成的地图信息A中的地图要素A具备该动静态属性。
与此对应,当指示信息用于指示第一空间区域内的地图要素的动静态属性时,生成的地图信息A具体可以包括:生成满足该动静态属性的地图信息A。
这里,满足动静态属性的地图信息具体可以包括如下一项或多项:更新频率满足动静态属性、数据格式满足动静态属性、数据处理方式满足动静态属性,以及在地图信息中携带用于指示动静态属性的标识。
更新频率满足动静态属性,可以是指更新频率与动静态属性相对应,不同的动静态属性,可对应不同的更新频率。例如,按照更新频率由高到低的顺序,上述动静态属性可依次为:动态属性、静态属性;或者,动态属性、半动态属性、半静态属性、静态属性。信息处理装置A可以基于该动静态属性所对应的更新频率对感知信息进行处理,以生成地图信息A。换言之,该地图信息A的生成频率可以与更新频率一致。
针对不同的动静态属性的地图要素,数据格式可以有不同的设计。数据格式满足动静态属性,可以是指数据格式可用于指示指定的动静态属性的地图要素,生成满足动静态属性的地图信息A,可以是指基于用于指示指定的动静态属性的地图要素的数据格式生成地图信息A。例如,基于用于指示动态要素的数据格式生成地图信息A,或基于用于指示静态要素的数据格式生成地图信息A。又例如,基于用于指示动态要素的数据格式生成地图信息A,或基于用于指示半动态要素的数据格式生成地图信息A,或基于用于指示半静态要素的数据格式生成地图信息A,或基于用于指示静态要素的数据格式生成地图信息A。
数据处理方式满足动静态属性,可以是指数据处理方式与动静态属性相对应。不同的动静态属性,可以采用不同的数据处理方式。例如,满足动态属性的地图信息对时延要求高,需要对采集到的数据做实时处理,可以采用时延要求高的算法;满足静态属性的地图信息因对时延要求低,可以采用时延要求低的复杂算法,甚至可以做多个时间点的感知信息的融合。
通过生成满足动静态属性的地图信息,有利于更合理地进行地图更新,减小数据 处理量和数据传输量。
可选地,当指示信息用于指示数据格式时,生成地图信息A具体可以包括:基于该数据格式,第一地图信息A。
如前所述,用于指示动态要素的数据格式中包含用于承载运动信息的字段,用于指示静态要素的数据格式中不包含用于承载运动信息的字段。
除此之外,用于指示动态要素的数据格式中还可包含如下至少一个字段:用于承载动态要素的颜色信息的字段,用于承载动态要素的几何信息的字段,用于承载动态要素的位置信息的字段。
其中,颜色信息用于指示动态要素的颜色;位置信息用于指示动态要素的位置,几何信息用于指示动态要素的形状和/或尺寸。
用于指示静态要素的数据格式还可包括用于承载变化信息的字段。该变化信息用于指示静态要素发生的变化。
由于静态要素也可能存在变化,比如交通标识线由实线变为虚线,或由白色变为黄色等,这类变化频率不高,可通过变化信息来指示。

参看图6,图6是本申请又一实施例提供的信息处理方法600的示意性流程图。如图6所示,该信息处理方法600可以包括步骤610和步骤640。下面详细说明方法600中的各个步骤。

示例性地,更新指示信息可以包括更新第一空间区域的地图要素的动静态属性、第一空间区域的地图信息的更新频率、第一空间区域的地图信息的数据格式和第一空间区域的地图信息的数据处理方式中的一项或多项。
例如,若第一空间区域中的动态要素和静态要素的空间分布特点发生了变化,第一空间区域的地图要素的动静态属性发生了变化,则可对该第一空间区域内地图要素的动静态属性做出更新。与之相应,若该指示信息的第一信元指示第一空间区域的地图要素的动静态属性、第一空间区域的地图信息的更新频率、第一空间区域的地图信息的数据格式和第一空间区域的地图信息的数据处理方式中的某一项或多项,信息处理装置C便可基于更新后的地图要素的动静态属性,更新指示信息中的相应内容。
又例如,若第一空间区域中的动态要素和静态要素的空间分布特点发生了变化,使得第一空间区域的三维空间范围发生了变化,较此前指示的三维空间范围更大或更小,则可对该指示信息的第二信元做出更新,以使得更新后的三维空间范围更符合当前的动态要素和静态要素的空间分布特点。
还例如,若第一空间区域中的动态要素和静态要素的空间分布特点发生了变化,使得第一空间区域内的地图要素不再具有相同的动静态属性,则该第一空间区域不再适合作为一个空间区域来进行地图信息的上报,则可对该指示信息做出更新,例如可删除第二信元中对原来的第一空间区域的三维空间范围的指示,并可删除第一信元中对该动静态属性、更新频率、数据格式和数据处理方式中一项或多项的指示。或者,若原来的第一空间区域可以拆分为两个或更多个空间区域,每个空间区域内的地图要素对应一种动静态属性,则也可对该指示信息做出更新,例如可在删除或更新原来的第一空间区域对应的指示信息(例如更新第二信元中第一空间区域的三维空间范围)的基础上,增加新的三维空间范围的指示,并可在第一信元中增加对相应空间区域的地图信息的动静态属性、更新频率、数据格式和数据处理方式中一项或多项的指示。
应理解,上文所列举的对指示信息的更新仅为几种可能的情况,第一空间区域的 动态要素和静态要素的空间分布特点变化可能带来的空间区域划分的变化可能存在更多种可能,与之对应的指示信息的更新也可以有多种可能的方式,此处为了简洁,不再枚举。
还应理解,信息处理装置C也可能具备获取感知信息的能力和处理感知信息的能力,故该信息处理装置C也可以基于指示信息和获取到的感知信息,生成地图信息C,该地图信息C可用于指示第一空间区域的地图要素C。
此外,信息处理装置C还可以生成并发送其他空间的地图信息,和/或,接收其他空间区域的地图信息。本申请包含但不限于此。
