Abstract
Techniques described herein relate to using head detection to improve pedestrian detection. In an example, a head can be detected in sensor data received from a sensor associated with a vehicle using a machine learned model. Based at least partly on detecting the head in the sensor data, a pedestrian can be determined to be present in an environment within which the vehicle is positioned. In an example, an indication of the pedestrian can be provided to at least one system of the vehicle, for instance, for use by the at least one system to make a determination associated with controlling the vehicle.
