DISTANCE ESTIMATION TO OBJECTS AND FREE-SPACE BOUNDARIES IN AUTONOMOUS MACHINE APPLICATIONS

In various examples, a deep neural network (DNN) is trained-using image data alone-to accurately predict distances to objects, obstacles, and/or a detected free-space boundary. The DNN may be trained with ground truth data that is generated using sensor data representative of motion of an ego-vehicl...

Zusammenfassung:In various examples, a deep neural network (DNN) is trained-using image data alone-to accurately predict distances to objects, obstacles, and/or a detected free-space boundary. The DNN may be trained with ground truth data that is generated using sensor data representative of motion of an ego-vehicle and/or sensor data from any number of depth predicting sensors-such as, without limitation, RADAR sensors, LIDAR sensors, and/or SONAR sensors. The DNN may be trained using two or more loss functions each corresponding to a particular portion of the environment that depth is predicted for, such that-in deployment-more accurate depth estimates for objects, obstacles, and/or the detected free-space boundary are computed by the DNN.
