    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology relate to using neural networks to detect objects in images. More specifically, some embodiments relate to the reduction of computational analysis regarding object detection via neural networks. In an embodiment, a method of performing object detection is provided. The method comprises determining, via a convolution neural network, at least a classification of an image, wherein the classification corresponds to an object in the image and comprises location vectors corresponding to pixels of the image. The method also comprises, for at least a location vector of the location vectors, obtaining a confidence level, wherein the confidence level represents a probability of the object being present at the location vector, and calculating an upper-bound score based at least on the confidence level. The method further comprises, for at least an upper-bound score based at least on the confidence level, performing an activation function on the upper-bound score, and classifying, via a detection layer, the object in the image.

    Abstract: Techniques for localizing a vehicle include obtaining an image from a camera, identifying a set of image feature points in the image, obtaining an approximate location of the vehicle, determining a set of sub-volumes (SVs) of a map to access based on the approximate location, obtaining map feature points and associated map feature descriptors associated with the set of SVs, determining a set of candidate matches between the set of image feature points and the obtained map feature points, determining a set of potential poses of the camera from candidate matches from the set of candidate matches and an associated reprojection error estimated for remaining points to select a first pose of the set of potential poses having a lowest associated reprojection error, determining the first pose is within a threshold value of an expected vehicle location, and outputting a vehicle location based on the first pose.

    Abstract: Techniques including receiving a distorted image from a camera disposed about a vehicle, detecting, in the distorted image, corner points associated with a target object, mapping the corner points to a distortion corrected domain based on one or more camera parameters, mapping the corner points and lines between the corner points back to a distorted domain based on the camera parameters, interpolating one or more intermediate points to generate lines between the corner points in the distortion corrected domain mapping the corner points and the lines between the corner points back to a distorted domain based on the camera parameters, and adjusting a direction of travel of the vehicle based on the located target object.
