US Patent 11555706 Processing graph representations of tactical maps using neural networks

A graph representation of a tactical map representing a plurality of static components of an environment of a vehicle is generated. Nodes of the graph represent static components, and edges represent relationships between multiple static components. Different edge types are used to indicate respective relationship semantics among the static components. Individual nodes are represented as having the same number and types of edges in the graph. Using the graph as input to a neural network based model, a set of results is obtained. A motion control directive based at least in part on the results is transmitted to a motion-control subsystem of the vehicle.
