Abstract

Methods, computer systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing a perspective view range image generated from sensor measurements of an environment. The perspective view range image includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a two-dimensional grid and including, for each pixel, (i) features of one or more sensor measurements at a location in the environment corresponding to the pixel and (ii) geometry information comprising range features characterizing a range of the location in the environment corresponding to the pixel relative to the one or more sensors. The system processes the perspective view range image using a first neural network to generate an output feature representation. The first neural network comprises a first perspective point-set aggregation layer comprising a geometry-dependent kernel.
