Abstract: Systems and methods for generating attention masks are provided. In particular, a computing system can access sensor data and map data for an area around an autonomous vehicle. The computing system can generate a voxel grid representation of the sensor data and map data. The computing system can generate an attention mask based on the voxel grid representation. The computing system can generate, by using the voxel grid representation and the attention mask as input to a machine-learned model, an attention weighted feature map. The computing system can determine using the attention weighted feature map, a planning cost volume for an area around the autonomous vehicle. The computing system can select a trajectory for the autonomous vehicle based, at least in part, on the planning cost volume.

Abstract: Techniques for improving the performance of an autonomous vehicle (AV) by automatically annotating objects surrounding the AV are described herein. A system can obtain sensor data from a sensor coupled to the AV and generate an initial object trajectory for an object using the sensor data. Additionally, the system can determine a fixed value for the object size of the object based on the initial object trajectory. Moreover, the system can generate an updated initial object trajectory, wherein the object size corresponds to the fixed value. Furthermore, the system can determine, based on the sensor data and the updated initial object trajectory, a refined object trajectory. Subsequently, the system can generate a multi-dimensional label for the object based on the refined object trajectory. A motion plan for controlling the AV can be generated based on the multi-dimensional label.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that combine physics-based systems with machine learning to generate synthetic LiDAR data that accurately mimics a real-world LiDAR sensor system. In particular, aspects of the present disclosure combine physics-based rendering with machine-learned models such as deep neural networks to simulate both the geometry and intensity of the LiDAR sensor. As one example, a physics-based ray casting approach can be used on a three-dimensional map of an environment to generate an initial three-dimensional point cloud that mimics LiDAR data. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a machine-learned model can predict one or more dropout probabilities for one or more of the points in the initial three-dimensional point cloud, thereby generating an adjusted three-dimensional point cloud which more realistically simulates real-world LiDAR data.
