Abstract: In one embodiment, a system generates an image using either a first or a second image signal processing (ISP) algorithm, where the first or second ISP algorithm is applied to raw image data of a camera of an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) to generate the image. The system applies a machine learning model to the image to identify a representation of an obstacle, where the machine learning model is generated by a few shots learning algorithm that contrasts labeled data of a positive training sample from images corresponding to the first and second ISP algorithms to labeled data of a negative training sample from images corresponding to the first and second ISP algorithm. The system determines a classification and a location of the obstacle based on the representation of the obstacle. The system plans a motion control of the ADV based on the classification and location of the detected object.

Abstract: In various examples, sensor configuration for autonomous or semi-autonomous systems and applications is described. Systems and methods are disclosed that may use image feature correspondences between camera images along with an assumption that image features are locally planar to determine parameters for calibrating an image sensor with a LiDAR sensor and/or another image sensor. In some examples, an optimization problem is constructed that attempts to minimize a geometric loss function, where the geometric loss function encodes the notion that corresponding image features are views of a same point on a locally planar surface (e.g., a surfel or mesh) that is constructed from LiDAR data generated using a LiDAR sensor. In some examples, performing such processes to determine the calibration parameters may remove structure estimation from the optimization problem.
