Abstract
The described aspects and implementations enable fast and accurate object identification in autonomous vehicle (AV) applications by combining radar data with camera images. In one implementation, disclosed is a method and a system to perform the method that includes obtaining a radar image of a first hypothetical object in an environment of the AV, obtaining a camera image of a second hypothetical object in the environment of the AV, and processing the radar image and the camera image using one or more machine-learning models MLMs to obtain a prediction measure representing a likelihood that the first hypothetical object and the second hypothetical object correspond to a same object in the environment of the AV.
