Abstract

Techniques for detecting key points associated with objects in an environment are described herein. The techniques may include receiving sensor data representing a portion of an environment in which the vehicle is operating and inputting the sensor data into a machine-learned model. Based on the input sensor data, the machine-learned model may detect one or more key points corresponding to physical features (e.g., hands, feet, eyes, etc.) of a pedestrian who is in the environment. Based on the one or more key points, a bounding box associated with the pedestrian may be generated and the vehicle may be controlled based on at least one of the key points or the bounding box. The techniques may also include training the machine-learned model to detect key points associated with pedestrians.
