News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“To operate safely, autonomous vehicles should account for objects-such as vehicles, people, trees, animals,buildings, signs, and poles-when planning paths through the environment. To do so, an object detectormay be used to accurately detect objects depicted in an image(s) in real-time (e.g., images captured usingone or more sensors mounted on the autonomous vehicle). However, conventional approaches may not have a desired accuracy and as a result, may miss, or generate false or delayed object detections that maylead to improper paths and even collisions.
