Abstract
Techniques for improving operational decisions of an autonomous vehicle are discussed herein. In some cases, a system may generate reference graphs associated with a route of the autonomous vehicle. Such reference graphs can comprise precomputed feature vectors based on grid regions and/or lane segments. The feature vectors are usable to determine scene context data associated with static objects to reduce computational expenses and compute time.
