Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing point cloud data representing a sensor measurement of a scene captured by one or more sensors to generate an object detection output that identifies locations of one or more objects in the scene. When deployed within an on-board system of a vehicle, the object detection output that is generated can be used to make autonomous driving decisions for the vehicle with enhanced accuracy.
