Abstract

According to various embodiments, systems and methods described in the disclosure combine mapped features with point cloud features to improve object detection precision of an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). The map features and the point cloud features can be extracted from a perception area of the ADV within a particular angle view at each driving cycle based on a position of the ADV. The map features and the point cloud features can be concatenated and provided to a neutral network for object detections.
