Abstract
Techniques are described herein for determining a yaw value for a traffic light head. The technique comprises obtaining sensor data via the sensor associated with the vehicle, the sensor data including a traffic light head. Based at least in part on the sensor data, a yaw value is determined for the traffic light head indicative of a degree that the traffic light head is yawed with respect to a line of sight of the sensor or the vehicle. Based at least in part on the yaw value, an extent that the traffic light head is associated with navigation of the vehicle is determined. The vehicle is then controlled based at least in part on the extent that the traffic light head is associated with the navigation of the vehicle.
