    摘要: A system for detecting and identifying foliage includes a tracking component, a tracking parameters component, and a classification component. The tracking component is configured to detect and track one or more features within range data from one or more sensors. The tracking parameters component is configured to determine tracking parameters for each of the one or more features. The tracking parameters include a tracking age and one or more of a detection consistency and a position variability. The classification component is configured to classify a feature of the one or more features as corresponding to foliage based on the tracking parameters.

    摘要: A controller receives outputs form a plurality of sensors such as a camera, LIDAR sensor, RADAR sensor, and ultrasound sensor. Sensor outputs corresponding to an object are assigned to a tracklet. Subsequent outputs by any of the sensors corresponding to that object are also assigned to the tracklet. A trajectory of the object is calculated from the sensor outputs assigned to the tracklet, such as by means of Kalman filtering. For each sensor output assigned to the tracklet, a probability is updated, such as using a Bayesian probability update. When the probability meets a threshold condition, the object is determined to be present and an alert is generated or autonomous obstacle avoidance is performed with respect to an expected location of the object.
