We follow the object detection task described in
our previous paper. However, here we use a
RetinaNet variant with separable convolutions, less
pooling, deconvolutional upsampling, a mask to
filter anchors based on the sparse grid map
structure and a class-dependent matching threshold. |

abstract={Detailed environment perception is a
crucial component of automated vehicles. However,
to deal with the amount of perceived information,
we also require segmentation strategies. Based on
a grid map environment representation, well-
suited for sensor fusion, free-space estimation
and machine learning, we detect and classify
objects using deep convolutional neural networks.
As input for our networks we use a multi-layer
grid map efficiently encoding 3D range sensor
information. The inference output consists of a
list of rotated bounding boxes with associated
semantic classes. We conduct extensive ablation
studies, highlight important design
considerations when using grid maps and evaluate
our models on the KITTI Bird's Eye View
benchmark. Qualitative and quantitative benchmark
results show that we achieve robust detection and
state of the art accuracy solely using top-view
grid maps from range sensor data.},
