Abstract
Provided are methods for efficient vehicle extent estimation, which can include bounding box generation. Some methods described include determining bounding boxes surrounding detected point clusters according to tangents to convex hulls of the point clusters, and minimizing continuous functions of distances between points and bounding box sides. Accordingly, best-fit bounding boxes are determined more efficiently and quickly, as well as more accurately. Systems and computer program products are also provided.
