    摘要: In various examples, lanes may be grouped and a sign may be assigned to a lane in a group, then propagated to another lane in the group to associate semantic meaning corresponding to the sign with the lanes. The sign may be assigned to the most similar lane as quantified by a matching score subject to the lane meeting any hard constraints. Propagation of an assignment of the sign to a different lane may be based on lane attributes and/or sign attributes. Lane attributes may be evaluated and assignments of signs may occur for a lane as a whole, and/or for particular segments of a lane (e.g., of multiple segments perceived by the system). A sign may be a compound sign that is identified as individual signs, which are associated with one another. Attributes of the compound sign may provide semantic meaning used to operate a machine.

    摘要: A neural network may be used to determine corner points of a skewed polygon (e.g., as displacement values to anchor box corner points) that accurately delineate a region in an image that defines a parking space. Further, the neural network may output confidence values predicting likelihoods that corner points of an anchor box correspond to an entrance to the parking spot. The confidence values may be used to select a subset of the corner points of the anchor box and/or skewed polygon in order to define the entrance to the parking spot. A minimum aggregate distance between corner points of a skewed polygon predicted using the CNN(s) and ground truth corner points of a parking spot may be used simplify a determination as to whether an anchor box should be used as a positive sample for training.

    摘要: In various examples, a three-dimensional (3D) intersection structure may be predicted using a deep neural network (DNN) based on processing two-dimensional (2D) input data. To train the DNN to accurately predict 3D intersection structures from 2D inputs, the DNN may be trained using a first loss function that compares 3D outputs of the DNN—after conversion to 2D space—to 2D ground truth data and a second loss function that analyzes the 3D predictions of the DNN in view of one or more geometric constraints—e.g., geometric knowledge of intersections may be used to penalize predictions of the DNN that do not align with known intersection and/or road structure geometries. As such, live perception of an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle may be used by the DNN to detect 3D locations of intersection structures from 2D inputs.
