Abstract
Among other things, techniques are described for implementing occlusion representations over road features. In general, one innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include: obtaining area information of at least one area of interest for a vehicle, identifying occlusion data associated with the at least one area of interest, determining occlusion information associated with the at least one area of interest based on the area information and the occlusion data, providing the occlusion information for planning a route for the vehicle, and operating the vehicle in accordance with the planned route. The occlusion data includes data associated with the occlusion information, and the occlusion information has a smaller data size than the occlusion data.
