Training of multi-modality object detectors

Techniques for determining a presence of an object, especially an object such as animal or debris, in a path of a vehicle, are discussed herein. For example, sensors of various modalities, which may include multispectral sensors, may capture data representing an environment the vehicle is traversing. In examples, one or more trained machine learned (ML) models, operating on a vehicle computing system, may detect and / or classify objects in the environment, based on input data of one or more modalities or spectral bands. The ML models may be pre-trained using training data including real sensor data, synthetic data, and / or augmented data, along with auto-generated annotations. In some examples, hyperspectral data may be used to identify materials associated with detected objects. A confidence score associated with the detection of the object may also be computed. The vehicle may be controlled based on detection of the object and its classification.
