Abstract
Techniques for detecting and labeling construction zones in an environment are disclosed. Two-dimensional images may be evaluated to identify pixels that may be associated with a construction zone and labeled accordingly. Labels for corresponding pixels in a separate image or non-construction zone labels for the same pixels may be compared to the construction zone pixels and an output image pixel label may be determined based on one or more criteria. An output image can be provided for vehicle control and for other operations, such as top-down segmentation and trajectory determination. Output images and related data may also be used to train a model to perform construction zone detection and labeling.
