Abstract
Methods, computer systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for performing object detection. The system obtains a respective range image corresponding to each point cloud in a set of point clouds captured by one or more sensors. The system processes each range image using a segmentation neural network to generate range image features and a segmentation output. The system generates a feature representation of the set of point clouds from only the feature representations of the foreground points. The system processes the feature representation of the set of point clouds using a prediction neural network to generate a prediction characterizing the set of point clouds.
