Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer, which includes a processor perform a method, the method 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
determining the importance scores includes inputting updated node features of each object node output by the graph convolution network to a multi-layer perceptron neural network to determine the importance scores for each of the plurality of relevant objects.
