Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory machine-useable storage medium embodying instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
receive image data from a image data collection system;
conform the image data to a predetermined image size;
extract a vehicle wheel object of a vehicle other than the autonomous vehicle from the image data using at least one trained classifier, the at least one classifier being trained with ground truth data and training image data from a training image data collection system;
produce vehicle wheel object data related to a wheel of the vehicle from the extracted vehicle wheel object, the vehicle wheel object data comprising vehicle wheel contour data corresponding to a contour surrounding the wheel of the vehicle, the vehicle wheel object data further comprising a predicted label map visualizing the vehicle wheel object data; and
infer a pose, location, intention, and trajectory of the vehicle from which the vehicle wheel object is extracted based on the vehicle wheel object data and the predicted label map.
