Abstract
Some embodiments of the invention include a method for updating an occlusion probability map. An occlusion probability map represents the probability that a given portion of the sensor field is occluded from one or more sensors. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving field of view data from a sensor system; producing a probabilistic model of the sensor field of view; and updating an occlusion probability map using the probabilistic model and field of view data.
