Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for providing object-level attention reasoning comprising:
receiving images associated with a plurality of image clips of a surrounding environment of a vehicle;
analyzing the images and determining a plurality of relevant objects that are included within the surrounding environment that influence an operation of the vehicle;
inputting data associated with the plurality of relevant objects to a graph convolution network to determine importance scores for each of the plurality of relevant objects; and
determining a plurality of top relevant objects based on the importance scores that are to be accounted for to autonomously control the vehicle to be operated to complete attention reasoning within the surrounding environment of a vehicle, wherein
analyzing the images and determining the plurality of relevant objects includes determining a target image frame from the plurality of image clips and inputting the target image frame to a regional proposal network to output object-ness scores, and
the object-ness scores are associated with a likelihood that the plurality of relevant objects included within the plurality of image clips influence the operation of the vehicle.
