Abstract: A system for detecting and tracking objects using lidar can include one or more processors configured to receive lidar data. The one or more processors can determine shape data from the lidar data. The shape data can be indicative of an object. The one or more processors can determine a plurality of extents of the object based on the shape data. The one or more processors can update a state of the object based on the plurality of extents, the state including a boundary of the object. The one or more processors can provide the state of the object to an autonomous vehicle controller to cause the autonomous vehicle controller to control an autonomous vehicle responsive to the state of the object.

Abstract: Object detection systems and methods can include identifying an object of interest within an image obtained from a camera, obtaining a first supplemental portion of data associated with the object of interest determining an estimated location of the object of interest within three-dimensional space based at least in part on the first supplemental portion of data and a known relative location of the camera, determining a portion of the LIDAR point data corresponding to the object of interest based at least in part on the estimated location of the object of interest within three-dimensional space, and providing one or more of at least a portion of the image corresponding to the object of interest and the portion of LIDAR point data corresponding to the object of interest as an output.
