The subject disclosure relates to ways to identify self-hit data collected by autonomous vehicle (AV) sensors. In some aspects, a method of the disclosed technology includes steps for generating a geometric model of an autonomous vehicle (AV), wherein the geometric model specifies physical boundaries of the AV in three-dimensional (3D) space, collecting sensor data for an environment around the AV, and identifying one or more data points, from among the collected sensor data, that correspond with a surface of the AV. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Eliminating sensor self-hit data

An autonomous vehicle having a lidar sensor system is described. A computing system is configured to determine that the lidar sensor system is to update a code that is included in light signals emitted by the lidar sensor system. The computing system transmits a command signal to the lidar sensor system, wherein the command signal causes the lidar sensor system to transition from emitting light signals with a first code therein to emitting light signals with a second code therein, wherein the first code is different from the second code.
