METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REMOVING OBJECTS FROM VIEW USING MACHINE LEARNING

A method for generating an unobstructed bowl view of a vehicle that includes obtaining a plurality of images from a plurality of cameras disposed on the vehicle and determining a plurality of depth fields. The method further includes detecting a plurality of distorted objects in the plurality of images with a first machine-learned model that assigns a class distribution to the detected distorted object and estimating a distance of each distorted object from its associated camera using the plurality of depth fields. The method further includes assigning an object weight to each distorted object in the plurality of distorted objects and removing at least one distorted objects from the plurality of images. The method further includes replacing each of the at least one removed distorted objects with a representative background generated by a second machine-learned model and stitching and projecting the plurality of images to form the unobstructed bowl view.
