Abstract
Techniques for generating a representation for an object in an environment of an autonomous vehicle are described herein. For example, the techniques may include a decoder of a variable autoencoder receiving latent variable data from a diffusion model and determining an object representation such as a bounding box or a heatmap for one or more objects proximate the autonomous vehicle. The bounding box can include orientation data indicating an orientation for each of the one or more bounding boxes. The object representation(s) can be sent to a vehicle computing device for consideration during vehicle planning, which may include simulation.
