  • Publication number: 20230286530
    Abstract: In various examples, map data or geospatial data is used to identify a subset of sensor data having a higher likelihood of including representations of a target object of interest from a larger set of sensor data. Feature vectors corresponding to the subset of sensor data may then be compared to template feature vectors corresponding to the target object in order to confirm the depiction of the target object in the sensor data. The identified sensor data may be used to train one or more machine learning model to compute outputs that correspond to object identification. The trained machine learning models may be used to identify objects in order to aid an autonomous or semi-autonomous machine in a surrounding environment.

  • Publication number: 20230267701
    Abstract: In various examples, sensor data representative of an image of a field of view of a vehicle sensor may be received and the sensor data may be applied to a machine learning model. The machine learning model may compute a segmentation mask representative of portions of the image corresponding to lane markings of the driving surface of the vehicle. Analysis of the segmentation mask may be performed to determine lane marking types, and lane boundaries may be generated by performing curve fitting on the lane markings corresponding to each of the lane marking types. The data representative of the lane boundaries may then be sent to a component of the vehicle for use in navigating the vehicle through the driving surface.
