Abstract: Tracking a current and/or previous position, velocity, acceleration, and/or heading of an object using sensor data may comprise determining whether to associate a current object detection generated from recently received (e.g., current) sensor data with a previous object detection generated from formerly received sensor data. In other words, a track may identify that an object detected in former sensor data is the same object detected in current sensor data. However, multiple types of sensor data may be used to detect objects and some objects may not be detected by different sensor types or may be detected differently, which may confound attempts to track an object. An ML model may be trained to receive outputs associated with different sensor types and/or a track associated with an object, and determine a data structure comprising a region of interest, object classification, and/or a pose associated with the object.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for a combined machine learned (ML) model that may generate a track confidence metric associated with a track and/or a classification of an object. Techniques may include obtaining a track. The track, which may include object detections from one or more sensor data types and/or pipelines, may be input into a machine-learning (ML) model. The model may output a track confidence metric and a classification. In some examples, if the track confidence metric does not satisfy a threshold, the ML model may cause the suppression of the output of the track to a planning component of an autonomous vehicle.
