MODELING TECHNIQUES FOR VISION-BASED PATH DETERMINATION

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for using artificial intelligence modeling techniques to generate a path for an ego. In an embodiment, a method comprises retrieving image data of a space around an ego, the image data captured by a camera of the ego; predicting by executing an artificial intelligence model, an occupancy attribute of a plurality of voxels corresponding to the space around the ego; generating a 3D model corresponding to the space around the ego and each voxel's occupancy attribute; upon receiving a destination, localizing, by the processor, the ego by identifying a current location of the ego using a key image feature within the image data corresponding to the 3D model without receiving a location of the ego from a location tracking sensor; and generating a path for the ego to travel from the current location to the destination.
