Abstract
A machine-learned (ML) model for determining, using at least depth data (e.g., lidar data, radar data), whether an object exists beyond particulate matter, such as dust, steam, smoke, rain, etc. from a sensor. Determining the likelihood may include determining a probability map that varies, distance beyond the particulate matter, reflectance of the object, transmit power, or the like.
