Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating object detection predictions from a neural network. In some implementations, an input characterizing a first region of an environment is obtained. The input includes a projected laser image generated from a three-dimensional laser sensor reading of the first region, a camera image patch generated from a camera image of the first region, and a feature vector of features characterizing the first region. The input is processed using a high precision object detection neural network to generate a respective object score for each object category in a first set of one or more object categories. Each object score represents a respective likelihood that an object belonging to the object category is located in the first region of the environment.
