Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for selecting locations in an environment of a vehicle where objects are likely centered and determining properties of those objects. One of the methods includes receiving an input characterizing an environment external to a vehicle. For each of a plurality of locations in the environment, a respective first object score that represents a likelihood that a center of an object is located at the location is determined. Based on the first object scores, one or more locations from the plurality of locations are selected as locations in the environment at which respective objects are likely centered. Object properties of the objects that are likely centered at the selected locations are also determined.
