Abstract

Techniques for detecting radar data inaccuracies using a multistage filtering technique are discussed herein. A vehicle may capture radar data including a set of radar points. The vehicle can input the radar data into a machine-learning model configured to detect objects and/or generate bounding boxes associated with such detected objects. In some instances, the vehicle may cluster the radar points such that a cluster includes the radar points located proximate to and/or within a bounding box. To identify double bounce object detections, the vehicle may determine whether a detected object is a false-positive double bounce object detection based on evaluating the azimuth, range, and relative velocity double bounce criteria. Based on the detected object satisfying the double bounce criteria for azimuth, range, and relative velocity, the vehicle may modify the radar data.
