Abstract:
Improved processing of sensor data (e.g., LiDAR data) can be used to distinguish between free space and objects/hazards. Autonomous vehicles can use such information for performing autonomous driving and/or parking operations. LiDAR data can include a plurality of range measurements (e.g., forming a 3D point cloud). Each of the range measurements can correspond to a respective LiDAR channel and azimuth angle. The processing of LiDAR data can include identifying one or more of the plurality of range measurements as ground points or non-ground points based on one or more point criteria. The one or more point criteria can include a ground projection criterion and an angular variation criterion.

Claim (Index 2):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:\n generate navigation commands for the vehicle in accordance with the identification of a subset of the ranging data as ground points or non-ground points.
