Abstract

Example embodiments relate to techniques for enabling one or more systems of a vehicle (e.g., an autonomous vehicle) to request remote assistance to help the vehicle navigate in an environment. A computing device may be configured to receive a request for assistance from a vehicle. The request may include an image frame representative of a portion of an environment. The computing device may also be configured to initiate display of a graphical user interface to visually represent the image frame. Further, the computing device may determine a bounding region for the image frame. The bounding region may be associated with one or more objects in the image frame. Additionally, the computing device may be configured to receive, via the GUI, an input that includes an object identifier, and associate the object identifier with each of the one or more objects in the bounding region.
