Abstract
Described are systems and methods to utilize an objective function of an aerial vehicle in constructing and/or updating an occupancy map. The described systems and methods can determine whether to include, add, and/or remove an object from an occupancy map based on one or more confidence score(s) that can be determined for the presence (or absence) of an object at a given location. The confidence score for an object at a given location can be determined, for example, based on various sources of information, which can each be provided different weights, parameters, thresholds, etc. based on the objective function of the aerial vehicle.
