    Abstract: Techniques for detecting attributes and/or gestures associated with pedestrians in an environment are described herein. The techniques may include receiving sensor data associated with a pedestrian in an environment of a vehicle and inputting the sensor data into a machine-learned model that is configured to determine a gesture and/or an attribute of the pedestrian. Based on the input data, an output may be received from the machine-learned model that indicates the gesture and/or the attribute of the pedestrian and the vehicle may be controlled based at least in part on the gesture and/or the attribute of the pedestrian. The techniques may also include training the machine-learned model to detect the attribute and/or the gesture of the pedestrian.

    Abstract: Techniques relating to monitoring map consistency are described. In an example, a monitoring component associated with a vehicle can receive sensor data associated with an environment in which the vehicle is positioned. The monitoring component can generate, based at least in part on the sensor data, an estimated map of the environment, wherein the estimated map is encoded with policy information for driving within the environment. The monitoring component can then compare first information associated with a stored map of the environment with second information associated with the estimated map to determine whether the estimated map and the stored map are consistent. Component(s) associated with the vehicle can then control the object based at least in part on results of the comparing.

    Abstract: Techniques for detecting door states associated with vehicles in an environment are described herein. The techniques may include receiving sensor data associated with a first vehicle in an environment and inputting the sensor data into a machine-learned model that is configured to determine a state of a door of the first vehicle. Based on the input data, an output may be received from the machine-learned model that indicates the state of the door of the first vehicle. Based on the state of the door of the first vehicle, a trajectory of a second vehicle may be controlled. The techniques may also include training the machine-learned model to detect door states of vehicles.

    Abstract: A sensor degradation detection and remediation system includes one or more sensors configured to collect image data from an environment. A combination of techniques may be used to detect degradations within regions of the image data captured by a sensor, including one or more of determining a level of the visual consistency between the associated image regions captured by different sensors, determining a level of opaqueness of the image regions, and/or measuring temporal movement of the image regions captured by a sensor over a period of time. Operations of a vehicle or other system may be controlled based at least in part on the detection of degradations of the image data captured by the sensors, including automated cleaning of a sensor surface, reducing a level of reliance on the image data received from the sensor, and/or changing a direction of travel of the vehicle.
