Abstract
In various examples, a hazard detection system fuses outputs from multiple sensors over time to determine a probability that a stationary object or hazard exists at a location. The system may then use sensor data to calculate a detection bounding shape for detected objects and, using the bounding shape, may generate a set of particles, each including a confidence value that an object exists at a corresponding location. The system may then capture additional sensor data by one or more sensors of the ego-machine that are different from those used to capture the first sensor data. To improve the accuracy of the confidences of the particles, the system may determine a correspondence between the first sensor data and the additional sensor data (e.g., depth sensor data), which may be used to filter out a portion of the particles and improve the depth predictions corresponding to the object.
