Abstract
Systems and methods of detecting and tracking one or more vehicles in a field of view of an imaging system using neural network processing. An electronic controller receives an input image from a camera mounted on the host vehicle. The electronic controller applies a neural network configured to output a definition of a three-dimensional bounding box based at least in part on the input image. The three-dimensional bounding box indicates a size and a position of a detected vehicle in a field of view of the input image. The three-dimensional bounding box includes a first quadrilateral shape outlining a rear or front of the detected vehicle and a second quadrilateral shape outline a side of the detected vehicle.
