Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods are provided for classifying detected objects as static or dynamic. A device may determine first light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data associated with a convex hull of an object at a first time, and determine second LIDAR data associated with the convex hull at a second time after the first time. The device may generate, based on the first LIDAR data and the second LIDAR data, a vector including values of features associated with the first convex hull and the second convex hull. The device may determine, based on the vector, a probability that the object is static. The device may operate a machine based on the probability that the object is static.
