  • Publication number: 20250078531
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining, by a processing device, input data derived from a set of sensors of an autonomous vehicle (AV), generating, by the processing device using a set of lane detection classifier heads, at least one heatmap based on a fused bird's eye view (BEV) feature generated from the input data, obtaining, by the processing device, a set of polylines using the at least one heatmap, wherein each polyline of the set of polylines corresponds to a respective track of a first set of tracks for a first frame, and generating, by the processing device, a second set of tracks for a second frame after the first frame by using a statistical filter based on a set of extrapolated tracks for the second frame and a set of track measurements for the second frame, wherein each track measurement of the set of track measurements corresponds to a respective updated polyline obtained for the second frame.

  • Publication number: 20250037303
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for estimating a 3-D pose of an object of interest from image and point cloud data. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining an image of an environment; obtaining a point cloud of a three-dimensional region of the environment; generating a fused representation of the image and the point cloud; and processing the fused representation using a pose estimation neural network and in accordance with current values of a plurality of pose estimation network parameters to generate a pose estimation network output that specifies, for each of multiple keypoints, a respective estimated position in the three-dimensional region of the environment.
