Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 10:
11. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
generate, based on sensor data captured by a first sensor of a first vehicle, an input map corresponding to a three-dimensional representation of a route traveled by the first vehicle;
detect objects represented in the sensor data, wherein the one or more processors are configured to detect objects through assigning a corresponding class label to features associated with the same object, each class label being selected from a set of predefined object classes;
generate a bounding box around each detected object;
filter, based on one or more criteria, the input map to generate a filtered map, wherein:
to filter the input map the one or more processors are configured to automatically remove features that satisfy the one or more criteria,
the one or more criteria identify objects that are irrelevant to determining a location of a second vehicle with reference to the filtered map, and
the one or more criteria comprise at least one object class such that at least some features are removed based on having been assigned a class label corresponding to the at least one object class and further based on belonging to the same bounding box; and

transmit the filtered map to the second vehicle, wherein the filtered map is usable by a navigation system of the second vehicle to determine a location of the second vehicle while the second vehicle is traveling along the same route.
