Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 13:
14. A system of detecting at least one traffic object outside of a vehicle and controlling the vehicle, the system comprising:
a sensor system;
a vehicle control system; and
at least one processor in operable communication with the sensor system and the vehicle control system, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute program instructions, wherein the program instructions are configured to cause the at least one processor to:
receive perception data from the sensor system;
determine at least one focused Region Of Interest (ROI) in the perception data;
scale the perception data of the at least one focused ROI;
process the scaled perception data of the at least one focused ROI using a neural network (NN)-based traffic object detection algorithm to provide traffic object detection data; and
control, via the vehicle control system, at least one vehicle feature based, in part, on the traffic object detection data,

wherein determining at least one focused Region Of Interest (ROI) in the perception data, is based on location data for the at least one traffic object, wherein the location data is obtained based on a blend of at least two of:
a fast traffic object detector;
prior traffic object detection distribution information based on prior perception data;
prior distribution information associating map information and perception data;
concurrent LiDAR data when the perception data is image data from a camera device; and
tracking of the at least one traffic object based on prior traffic object detection data.
