Abstract

Systems and techniques for determining more accurate object parameter values, such as orientation values (e.g., yaw, location, position, etc.), for objects detected in an environment are disclosed. A vehicle computing system may receive sensor data from multiple sensor systems that indicates a parameter value determined at the individual sensor systems. The vehicle computing system may determine values and probabilities for particular parameters modes based on the sensor data parameter values and may further filter these values using a mixture model to determine probability distributions for the modes and associated values. These filtered values and modes may then be used to determine predicted object trajectories that can be used to control a vehicle.
