Abstract

Perception systems and methods include use of occlusion constraints for resolving tracks from multiple types of sensors. An occlusion constraint is applied to an association between a radar track and vision track to indicate a probability of occlusion. The perception systems and methods refrain from evaluating occluded and collected radar tracks and vision tracks. The probability of occlusion is utilized for deemphasizing pairs of radar tracks and vision tracks with a high likelihood of occlusion and therefore, not useful for tracking. Improved perception data is provided and more closely represents multiple complex data sets for a vehicle to prevent a collision with an occluded object as the vehicle operates in an environment.
