Object detection and detection confidence suitable for autonomous driving

In various examples, detected object data representative of locations of detected objects in a field of view may be determined. One or more clusters of the detected objects may be generated based at least in part on the locations and features of the cluster may be determined for use as inputs to a machine learning model(s). A confidence score, computed by the machine learning model(s) based at least in part on the inputs, may be received, where the confidence score may be representative of a probability that the cluster corresponds to an object depicted at least partially in the field of view. Further examples provide approaches for determining ground truth data for training object detectors, such as for determining coverage values for ground truth objects using associated shapes, and for determining soft coverage values for ground truth objects.

Robust static and moving object detection system via attentional mechanisms

Described, is a system for object detection via multi-scale attentional mechanisms. The system receives a multi-band image as input. Anti-aliasing and downsampling processes are performed to reduce the size of the multi-band image. Targeted contrast enhancement is performed on the multi-band image to enhance a target color of interest. A response map for each target color of interest is generated, and each response map is independently processed to generate a saliency map. The saliency map is converted into a set of detections representing potential objects of interest, wherein each detection is associated with parameters, such as position parameters, size parameters, an orientation parameter, and a score parameter. A post-processing step is applied to filter out false alarm detections in the set of detections, resulting in a final set of detections. Finally, the final set of detections and their associated parameters representing objects of interest is output.
