Assignee: ZOOX, INC.
Field: Control (Instruments)
Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 12:
13. One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions executable by one or more processors, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving a first dilated probability distribution representative of a physical environment at a first time, the first dilated probability distribution representing prediction probabilities that an object in the physical environment is occupying a first location at the first time;
determining, based at least in part on a factor associated with the object and a dimension associated with an autonomous vehicle, a size to associate with the object;
generating, based at least in part on the size, an updated dilated probability distribution by expanding a region associated with the first dilated probability distribution that the object in the physical environment is occupying the first location at the first time;
determining, based at least in part on the updated dilated probability distribution and a second dilated probability distribution representing prediction probabilities that the object in the physical environment is occupying a second location at a second time, a third dilated probability distribution representative of the physical environment at a third time between the first time and the second time; and
causing, based at least in part on the third dilated probability distribution, the autonomous vehicle to perform an action.
