Abstract: Techniques for improving the performance of an autonomous vehicle (AV) by automatically annotating objects surrounding the AV are described herein. A system can obtain sensor data from a sensor coupled to the AV and generate an initial object trajectory for an object using the sensor data. Additionally, the system can determine a fixed value for the object size of the object based on the initial object trajectory. Moreover, the system can generate an updated initial object trajectory, wherein the object size corresponds to the fixed value. Furthermore, the system can determine, based on the sensor data and the updated initial object trajectory, a refined object trajectory. Subsequently, the system can generate a multi-dimensional label for the object based on the refined object trajectory. A motion plan for controlling the AV can be generated based on the multi-dimensional label.

Abstract: Adjustments to bounding shapes for detected objects in image data may be independently determined. A bounding shape for an object detected in image data may be obtained. Independently determined adjustments for one or more edges of the bounding shape may be determined according to a multi-scale feature map generated from different resolutions of the image data that is provided as input to different dimension decoders to determine the adjustments to the bounding shape and respective confidence scores for the adjustments. The confidence scores are evaluated with respect to a confidence threshold to determine whether to provide the adjustments to the one or more edges of the bounding shape.
