Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for vehicle driving assistance systems that support image processing. In a first aspect, a method of fusing features from near-field images and far-field images is provided that includes determining feature vectors and spatial locations for received images from near-field and far-field image sensors. A first set of weighted feature vectors may be determined based on spatial locations of the features and a second set of weighted feature vectors may be determined based on corresponding features between the feature vectors. Fused feature vectors may then be determined based on the weighted feature vectors, such as using a transformer attention process trained to select and combine features from both sets of weighted feature vectors. Vehicle control instructions may be determined based on the fused feature vectors. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
