Techniques for identifying occluded objects using a neural network

Abstract

In various examples, techniques for detecting occluded objects within an environment are described. For instance, systems and methods may receive training data representing images and ground truth data indicating whether the images are associated with occluded objects or whether the images are not associated with occluded objects. The systems and methods may then train a neural network to detect occluded objects using the training data and the ground truth data. After training, the systems and methods may use the neural network to detect occluded objects within an environment. For instance, while a vehicle is navigating, the vehicle may process sensor data using the neural network. The neural network may then output data indicating whether an object is located within the environment and occluded from view of the vehicle. In some examples, the neural network may further output additional information associated with the occluded object.
