SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING AN OPEN DOOR

A computer-implemented method for navigating a host vehicle may include receiving an image frame acquired by an image capture device associated with the host vehicle; identifying in the image frame a representation of a target vehicle; determining an orientation indicator associated with the target vehicle; based on the determined orientation indicator, identifying a candidate region of the acquired image frame where a representation of a vehicle door of the target vehicle is expected in an open door condition; extracting the candidate region from the image frame; providing the candidate region to an open door detection network; determining a navigational action for the host vehicle in response to an indication from the open door detection network that the candidate region includes a representation of a door of the target vehicle in an open condition; and causing an actuator associated with the host vehicle to implement the navigational action.
