Patent number: 11710296Abstract: Techniques for a perception system of a vehicle that can detect and track objects in an environment are described herein. The perception system may include a machine-learned model that includes one or more different portions, such as different components, subprocesses, or the like. In some instances, the techniques may include training the machine-learned model end-to-end such that outputs of a first portion of the machine-learned model are tailored for use as inputs to another portion of the machine-learned model. Additionally, or alternatively, the perception system described herein may utilize temporal data to track objects in the environment of the vehicle and associate tracking data with specific objects in the environment detected by the machine-learned model. That is, the architecture of the machine-learned model may include both a detection portion and a tracking portion in the same loop.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2021Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: Zoox, Inc.Inventors: Cheng-Hsin Wuu, Subhasis Das, Po-Jen Lai, Qian Song, Benjamin Isaac Zwiebel

Publication number: 20230169777Abstract: Techniques for detecting and tracking objects in an environment are discussed herein. For example, techniques can include detecting a center point of a block of pixels associated with an object. Unimodal (e.g., Gaussian) confidence values may be determined for a group of pixels associated with an object. Proposed detection box center points may be determined based on the Gaussian confidence values of the pixels and an output detection box may be determined using filtering and/or suppression techniques. Further, a machine-learned model can be trained by determining parameters of a center pixel of the detection box and a focal loss based on the unimodal confidence value which can then be backpropagated to the other pixels of the detection.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2021Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Qian Song, Benjamin Isaac Zwiebel
