    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating a future occupancy prediction for a region of an environment. In one aspect, a method comprises: receiving sensor data generated by a sensor system of a vehicle that characterizes an environment in a vicinity of the vehicle as of a current time point, wherein the sensor data comprises a plurality of sensor samples characterizing the environment that were each captured at different time points; processing a network input comprising the sensor data using a neural network to generate an occupancy prediction output for a region of the environment, wherein: the occupancy prediction output characterizes, for one or more future intervals of time after the current time point, a respective likelihood that the region of the environment will be occupied by an agent in the environment during the future interval of time.

    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating a distance estimate for a target object that is depicted in an image of a scene in an environment. The system obtains data specifying (i) a target portion of the image that depicts the target object detected in the image, and (ii) one or more reference portions of the image that each depict a respective reference object detected in the image. The system further obtains, for each of the one or more reference objects, a respective distance measurement for the reference object that is a measurement of a distance from the reference object to a specified location in the environment. The system processes the obtained data to generate a distance estimate for the target object that is an estimate of a distance from the target object to the specified location in the environment.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for determining a location of a particular object relative to a vehicle. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining sensor data captured by one or more sensors of a vehicle. The sensor data is processed by a convolutional neural network to generate a sensor feature representation of the sensor data. Data is obtained which defines a particular spatial region in the sensor data that has been classified as including sensor data that characterizes the particular object. An object feature representation of the particular object is generated from a portion of the sensor feature representation corresponding to the particular spatial region. The object feature representation of the particular object is processed using a localization neural network to generate the location of the particular object relative to the vehicle.
