Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for detecting regions of an environment. One of the methods includes receiving a representation of a scene in an environment; processing the representation using a center prediction neural network to generate: (i) features of the scene in the environment, and (ii) a respective center score corresponding to each of a plurality of locations in the environment; selecting, based on the respective center scores, one or more of the plurality of locations; and for each selected location: processing an input comprising the features of the scene in the environment and data specifying the selected location using a geometry prediction neural network to generate a geometry prediction that represents a geometry of the region that is centered at the selected location.
