Abstract

A system is configured to segment instances of objects in a pseudo-image. The pseudo-image can be generated from a 3D image coupled to a vehicle. The system can receive the pseudo-image, which can include multiple sections. The system can determine an object classification for a section and determine an instance portion classification for the section. The system can group the section with another section based on the object classification and the instance portion classification. The grouping can correspond to an instance of an object in the image. The system can use the grouping to navigate the vehicle.
