Abstract
Techniques for detecting and classifying objects using lidar data are discussed herein. In some cases, the system may be configured to utilize a predetermined number of prior frames of lidar data to assist with detecting and classifying objects. In some implementations, the system may utilize a subset of the data associated with the prior lidar frames together with the full set of data associated with a current frame to detect and classify the objects.
