1. A system comprising:

  • a data processor; and

    an autonomous vehicle wheel detection system, executable by the data processor, the autonomous vehicle wheel detection system being configured to perform an autonomous vehicle wheel detection operation for autonomous vehicles, the autonomous vehicle wheel detection operation being configured to;

    receive training image data from a training image data collection system;

    obtain ground truth data corresponding to the training image data;

    perform a training phase to train one or more classifiers for processing images of the training image data to detect vehicle wheel objects of other vehicles in the images of the training image data;

    receive operational image data from an image data collection system associated with an autonomous vehicle; and

    perform an operational phase including applying the trained one or more classifiers to extract vehicle wheel objects of other vehicles from the operational image data and produce vehicle wheel object data related to wheels of other vehicles, the vehicle wheel object data including vehicle wheel contour data corresponding to the contours surrounding the wheels of other vehicles.
