Abstract

Systems and methods for operating an autonomous vehicle. The methods comprising: obtaining, by a computing device, a LiDAR dataset; plotting, by a computing device, the LiDAR dataset on a 3D graph to define a 3D point cloud; using, by a computing device, the LiDAR dataset and contents of a vector map to define a cuboid on the 3D graph that encompasses points of the 3D point cloud that are associated with an object in proximity to the vehicle, where the vector map comprises lane information; and using the cuboid to facilitate driving-related operations of the autonomous vehicle.
