This document describes scene understanding for cross reality systems using occupancy grids. In one aspect, a method includes recognizing one or more objects in a model of a physical environment generated using images of the physical environment. For each object, a bounding box is fit around the object. An occupancy grid that includes a multiple cells is generated within the bounding box around the object. A value is assigned to each cell of the occupancy grid based on whether the cell includes a portion of the object. An object representation that includes information describing the occupancy grid for the object is generated. The object representations are sent to one or more devices.

Scene understanding using occupancy grids

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for training an object recognition neural network using multiple data sources. One of the methods includes receiving training data that includes a plurality of training images from a first source and images from a second source. A set of training images are obtained from the training data. For each training image in the set of training images, contrast equalization is applied to the training image to generate a modified image. The modified image is processed using the neural network to generate an object recognition output for the modified image. A loss is determined based on errors between, for each training image in the set, the object recognition output for the modified image generated from the training image and ground-truth annotation for the training image. Parameters of the neural network are updated based on the determined loss.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for object recognition neural network for amodal center prediction. One of the methods includes receiving an image of an object captured by a camera. The image of the object is processed using an object recognition neural network that is configured to generate an object recognition output. The object recognition output includes data defining a predicted two-dimensional amodal center of the object, wherein the predicted two-dimensional amodal center of the object is a projection of a predicted three-dimensional center of the object under a camera pose of the camera that captured the image.

Object recognition neural network for amodal center prediction

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for scalable three-dimensional (3-D) object recognition in a cross reality system. One of the methods includes maintaining object data specifying objects that have been recognized in a scene. A stream of input images of the scene is received, including a stream of color images and a stream of depth images. A color image is provided as input to an object recognition system. A recognition output that identifies a respective object mask for each object in the color image is received. A synchronization system determines a corresponding depth image for the color image. A 3-D bounding box generation system determines a respective 3-D bounding box for each object that has been recognized in the color image. Data specifying one or more 3-D bounding boxes is received as output from the 3-D bounding box generation system.
