Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for vehicle driving assistance systems that support image processing. In a first aspect, a method of image processing includes receiving image data from an image sensor; receiving ranging data from a ranging sensor; embedding first spatial features of the image data with first temporal information associated with the image data; embedding second spatial features of the ranging data with second temporal information associated with the ranging data; determining first bird's-eye-view (BEV) features based on the first spatial features embedded with first temporal information; determining second BEV features based on the second spatial features embedded with second temporal information; and determining, based on the first and second BEV features, a feature set for processing by a transformer network. The feature set includes at least a portion of both the first and second BEV features. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
