Abstract
This disclosure relates in general to systems and methods for optically tracking objects proximate an autonomous vehicle. In particular, an object tracking system capable of refining position data for objects being tracked by determining a location of the objects surrounding the autonomous vehicle at least on part on previously determined locations of the objects. In certain instances, the predicted and detected locations used to arrive at a refined location for the objects can be weighted in different ways depending on conditions of the sensor data and quality of the historical data.
