…can also bolster safety. Object recognition can help increase precision Slamcore’s algorithms analyze each frame of video before the next one is captured, quickly contextualizing the environment surrounding vehicles. That context includes localization, object detection, and object recognition. Nicholson said object recognition can have a knock-on effect for positional accuracy. The whole point of SLAM is to create a map as vehicles move around an area. But measuring against other moving objects can create errors. Lasers are great for capturing distance and angle measurements. But laser-based navigation systems can struggle in dynamic environments because they don’t have context to know…
