Abstract:
Techniques for detecting and tracking objects in an environment are discussed herein. For example, techniques can include detecting a center point of a block of pixels associated with an object. Unimodal (e.g., Gaussian) confidence values may be determined for a group of pixels associated with an object. Proposed detection box center points may be determined based on the Gaussian confidence values of the pixels and an output detection box may be determined using filtering and/or suppression techniques. Further, a machine-learned model can be trained by determining parameters of a center pixel of the detection box and a focal loss based on the unimodal confidence value which can then be backpropagated to the other pixels of the detection.
