Sony patents method to adjust noise filtering based on sensor data errors
Sony describes a computer method that creates a map identifying specific areas where sensor data might be distorted or unclear. The system then adjusts how strongly it filters out noise in those specific areas to improve the quality of the data.
In the filing’s own words
An information processing method of the present disclosure includes generation processing of a filter map and filter processing. In the generation processing of the filter map, a position of a sensing space in which aliasing is assumed is defined in the filter map. In the filter processing, filter performance of a noise filter that performs filtering of sensing data is set for each position of the sensing space, based on the filter map.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An information processing method executed by a computer, the information processing method comprising: defining a position of a sensing space in which aliasing is assumed in a filter map; and setting filter performance of a noise filter that performs filtering of sensing data for each position of the sensing space, based on the filter map.
