Abstract
A machine-learned architecture may use sensor data, data derived from the sensor data, and/or to determine a grid indicating objects that are occluded to one or more sensors of a vehicle and velocities associated therewith. This grid may be used to generate a candidate object detection associated with an occluded object and/or an object track associated with the occluded object. The candidate object detection and/or object track may be used to determine a predicted trajectory of the occluded object and, in cases where the occluded object is affirmed by a perception component of the vehicle to be a true positive, may be used to initialize a track associated with the newly disoccluded object.
