Abstract
Depth estimates for an object made by one or more sensors of a vehicle may be refined using locations of environmental attributes that are proximate the object. An image captured of the object proximate an environmental attribute may be analyzed to determine where the object is positioned relative to the environmental attribute. A machine-learned model may be used to detect the environmental attribute, and a location of the environmental attribute may be determined from map data. A probability of a location of the object may be determined based on the known location of the environmental attribute. The location probability of the object may be used to refine depth estimates generated by other means, such as a monocular depth estimation from an image using computer vision.
