Abstract
This application describes locating objects in an environment, such as a mapped region. In an example, a location of an entity on a drivable surface can include querying an axis-aligned bounding box (AABB) tree to determine a segment of the drivable surface including the location. In some examples, the location can be further determined within the segment of the drivable surface. For instance, the segment of the drivable surface may be partitioned into a plurality of polygons, and the polygons can be searched to determine a lane segment in the road segment associated with the entity.
