Abstract

In various examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure detect and/or track objects in an environment using projection images generated from LiDAR. For example, a machine learning model—such as a deep neural network (DNN)—may be used to compute a motion mask indicative of motion corresponding to points representing objects in an environment. Various input channels may be provided as input to the machine learning model to compute a motion mask. One or more comparison images may be generated based on comparing depth values projected from a current range image to a coordinate space of a previous range image to depth values of the previous range image. The machine learning model may use the one or more projection images, the one or more comparison images, and/or the one or more range images to compute a motion mask and/or a motion vector output representation.
