Original Abstract Submitted
in various examples, live perception from sensors of an ego-machine may be leveraged to detect objects and assign the objects to bounded regions (e.g., lanes or a roadway) in an environment of the ego-machine in real-time or near real-time. for example, a deep neural network (dnn) may be trained to compute outputs—such as output segmentation masks—that may correspond to a combination of object classification and lane identifiers. the output masks may be post-processed to determine object to lane assignments that assign detected objects to lanes in order to aid an autonomous or semi-autonomous machine in a surrounding environment.
