Abstract
Techniques for vector-based representation of objects from sensor data of an autonomous vehicle are described herein. The vector-based representations are generated by identifying intersections of vectors originating at a center of an object and extending radially outward with a perimeter of the object based on sensor data. The vector-based representation may be generated using the intersection points to generate an object representation for use in planning and collision avoidance for an autonomous vehicle.
