Patent attributes
A vehicle may include a localization and/or mapping component to understand what surrounds the autonomous vehicle and where it is in relation to the surroundings. The localization and/or mapping component may receive sensor data from sensor(s) of the vehicle and generate a map and/or position and/or orientation from the sensor data according to parameters that configure the way the localization and/or mapping component generates the map and/or position/orientation. A computing device may dynamically adjust these parameters, thereby changing the way the map and/or position/orientation are generated. This adjustment may be based on a condition detected from the sensor data and may increase a clarity (e.g., degree of distinctness/clarity) of the generated map and/or position/orientation.
