Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for estimating a 3D bounding box (3DBB) from a 2D bounding box (2DBB). Conventional techniques to estimate 3DBB from 2DBB rely upon classifying target vehicles within the 2DBB. When the target vehicle is misclassified, the projected bounding box from the estimated 3DBB is inaccurate. To address such issues, it is proposed to estimate the 3DBB without relying upon classifying the target vehicle.

Abstract: Described herein are ferroelectric (FE) memory cells that include transistors having gates with FE capacitors integrated therein. An example memory cell includes a transistor having a semiconductor channel material, a gate dielectric over the semiconductor material, a first conductor material over the gate dielectric, a FE material over the first conductor material, and a second conductor material over the FE material. The first and second conductor materials form, respectively, first and second capacitor electrodes of a capacitor, where the first and second capacitor electrodes are separated by the FE material (hence, a “FE capacitor”). Separating a FE material from a semiconductor channel material of a transistor with a layer of a gate dielectric and a layer of a first conductor material eliminates the FE-semiconductor interface that may cause endurance issues in some other FE memory cells.
