Abstract
Autonomous vehicles utilize perception and understanding of road users to predict behaviors of the road users, and to plan a trajectory for the vehicle. Understanding subtypes and attributes of vehicles may help autonomous vehicles better predict behaviors of and react to vehicles in a variety of road situations. To offer additional understanding capabilities, an additional understanding model is added to the perception and understanding pipeline to improve classification of vehicles and extraction of attributes of the vehicles. The exemplary architectures of the understanding model balance recall and precision performance metrics and computational complexity.
