Outdoor 38 degrees, cicadas listless cried in the branches.
At this point, just finished work overnight Jimin was driving to see clients in the high-speed road. He turned sleepy eye on a map on the display, a thought flashed in my mind: this car would be nice to be able to autopilot.
but. . . . .
"There is no high-precision map, autopilot no chance."
In the field of high-level driver assistance, the importance of high-precision map is self-evident. Cultivating high-precision map market-oriented OEMs, travel logistics companies and Internet service providers, "continued forming" a dynamic service, DeepMap profound wisdom figure is one of the best.
"Japanese higher fine map" unsung heroes
Talking about cloud services is to the status and role of profound wisdom figure, head of China Liu Shu Quan said bluntly:
"Now, we have been able to do daily map updates, future goal is updated in real time. This is not a cloud service 'unsung heroes', all this is clearly unrealistic."
Liu Shu Quan seems that the mapping of near-stringent quality standards and requirements, key intellectual map stand out in the market, it is profound.
Figure profound wisdom can provide a large number of key feature, at the same time, the ability to customize the adapter for different application scenarios are also very important. For example, trucks are more concerned about the altitude information, the general vehicle information more attention to non-motorized vehicles, low speed unmanned vehicle is more sensitive to characteristics of pedestrians and other road information within ...... All of these are considered the model and force proposed very high demand.
Figure profound wisdom will generate a positive high-precision map of all aspects of the process of re-calculation of the full deployment in the cloud Ali, from the relevant model training, cleaning to check the data before drawing into the middle of the calculation process will be completed in the cloud.
Figure profound wisdom cloud deployment architecture
The data collection phase - high precision map-vehicle terminal automatically capture incremental data according to the characteristics, fast to the cloud through edge node. Data processing stage, by the completion of large-scale cluster EMR data cleaning, scheduling algorithms, computation (road marking recognition, traffic lights recognition, roads and bridges identification, object recognition ......) and other processes to generate a point cloud map. On this basis, the feature information extraction machine learning to do, and then into a vector map.
Process, all R & D model training processes are completed in the cloud by version number, the result is stored in the OSS / HDFS, generate and deliver customized high-precision map files used by the end customer.
Ali cloud Shanghao scenery
Figure profound intellectual migration artificial intelligence engine map is currently being carried out steadily, the overall effect is satisfactory. At the same time, CI / CD is gradually migrating to the cloud Ali.
Currently, the main use of advanced Chi diagram Ali cloud offerings include: ECS, GPU, object storage OSS, service edge node ENS, proprietary network VPC, EMR computing cluster, K8s API cluster, Hbase storage cluster and so on.
During use, profound wisdom figure summarizes Ali cloud compared to other cloud service providers several key advantages :
| Basic Resources computing, networking and other rich. For example, many Ali cloud edge nodes, will help enhance the efficiency of the entire data processing flow from the source. In the future, as the number of clients collect more data may access edge node, the data upload process will be further accelerated.
| Complete products and services. Has DNS name resolution, depth of learning computing platform of services, including secure key management is also strong compared to other platforms, will further enhance the security of cloud applications.
| Overall service stability. All aspects of goods and services to meet the kind of high-precision map core business requirements of the framework, streamlining data processing flow, high efficiency.
Liu Shu Quan said, Ali goes to high-precision mapping services delivered under the crowdsourcing model provides efficient, reliable and critical infrastructure, make innovation possible.
In one aspect , from the source to provide a solid guarantee for the whole data processing and business process; the other hand , as in FIG improve efficiency while taking into account cost-effective, across data collection, pre-processing, calculation and other processes provide cost-effective overall solution Program. Meanwhile, Ali cloud in terms of types of services and stability is also satisfactory, solid foundation for future cloud expansion of the business.
From storage, computing to communications, a full range of cloud services to accelerate the development and application of advanced intellectual view of core technology products to help profound wisdom to focus on drawing overcome technical problems in the field of high-precision map. On this basis, the future will have the ability to map profound wisdom joint large OEM partners to achieve high-precision map and on-board autopilot deep integration platform, to build the overall service.
I believe that in the near future, we can see the continuous progress of high-precision map technology-enabled L4 and above completely unmanned vehicles, and the industry to witness the advent of unmanned technology era.
If you have cars that drive themselves, where first destination was?
