Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and systems for dynamically detecting and tracking objects in an environment of an autonomous vehicle. In some embodiments, the method comprises: receiving image data from sensors of the autonomous vehicle, the image data comprising a plurality of images representative of objects in a field of view of the autonomous vehicle; detecting the objects in the plurality of images through an object detector; generating image embeddings for the objects detected in the plurality of images; determining similarity scores of the image embeddings of the objects that are detected in images received from two or more different sensors; identifying the objects that are detected in the images received from the two or more different sensors as a candidate object for tracking, if the objects have a similarity score of the image embeddings equal to or greater than a threshold value; and initializing a track for the candidate object.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and systems for dynamically creating a trajectory for navigating a vehicle. The method may include receiving sensor data from at least one sensor of the autonomous vehicle, the sensor data representative of a driving surface in a field of view of the autonomous vehicle; segmenting a portion of the driving surface in the field of view of the autonomous vehicle by determining nominal path based at least in part on the image data; assigning a plurality of nodes to at least a portion of the nominal path; associating the plurality of the nodes assigned to the nominal path with a line to generate at least one segmentation polyline; determining updated nominal path by fitting the each of the plurality of segmentation lines to the nominal path; generating a trajectory based on the updated nominal path; and navigating the autonomous vehicle according to the trajectory.
