Abstract
Techniques for determining relevant objects in an environment around a vehicle are discussed herein. Sensor data can be captured and input to a model to determine predicted object trajectories and associated probabilities. For a candidate trajectory for the vehicle to follow, regions of overlap between the vehicle trajectory and the predicted object trajectories can be determined. An interaction graph can be generated representing interactions between the candidate trajectory and the predicted object trajectories. The interaction graph can be sampled based on the probabilities and/or other characteristics. Samples from the interaction graph can be used to determine relevant objects in a driving scenario for a vehicle traversing an environment. Based on the sample, the vehicle may generate a relevancy score associated with the sample. The vehicle may determine that a number of the most relevant sample scenarios may be sent to a prediction component and control of the vehicle.
