System and Method for Determining Object Intention Through Visual Attributes

Abstract:

Systems and methods for determining object intentions through visual attributes are provided. A method can include determining, by a computing system, one or more regions of interest. The regions of interest can be associated with surrounding environment of a first vehicle. The method can include determining, by a computing system, spatial features and temporal features associated with the regions of interest. The spatial features can be indicative of a vehicle orientation associated with a vehicle of interest. The temporal features can be indicative of a semantic state associated with signal lights of the vehicle of interest. The method can include determining, by the computing system, a vehicle intention. The vehicle intention can be based on the spatial and temporal features. The method can include initiating, by the computing system, an action. The action can be based on the vehicle intention.
