Abstract:
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for tracking vehicles or other objects that are perceived by an autonomous vehicle. A vehicle filter can employ a motion model that models the location of the tracked vehicle using a vehicle bounding shape and an observation model that generates an observation bounding shape from sensor observations. A dominant vertex or side from each respective bounding shape can be identified and used to update or otherwise correct one or more predicted shape locations associated with the vehicle bounding shape based on a shape location associated with the observation bounding shape.

Claim (Index 33):
A computer system, comprising:\n one or more processors; and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media that collectively store instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computer system to perform operations, the operations comprising: predicting, by the one or more computing devices, one or more first shape locations for a vehicle bounding shape associated with a tracked vehicle that is perceived by an autonomous vehicle; identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a first dominant portion for each of the one or more first shape locations predicted for the vehicle bounding shape; obtaining, by the one or more computing devices, observation data descriptive of one or more sensor observations; determining, by the one or more computing devices, a second shape location for an observation bounding shape associated with the tracked vehicle based at least in part on the observation data; identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a second dominant portion for the observation bounding shape; and determining, by the one or more computing devices, at least one estimated shape location for the vehicle bounding shape based at least in part on a comparison of a first location of the first dominant portion for each of the one or more first shape locations to a second location of the second dominant portion for the observation bounding shape.
