Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for predicting three-dimensional object locations from images. One of the methods includes obtaining a sequence of images that comprises, at each of a plurality of time steps, a respective image that was captured by a camera at the time step; generating, for each image in the sequence, respective pseudo-lidar features of a respective pseudo-lidar representation of a region in the image that has been determined to depict a first object; generating, for a particular image at a particular time step in the sequence, image patch features of the region in the particular image that has been determined to depict the first object; and generating, from the respective pseudo-lidar features and the image patch features, a prediction that characterizes a location of the first object in a three-dimensional coordinate system at the particular time step in the sequence.
