Abstract

Techniques comprise receiving sensor data comprising first sensor data collected by a first lidar sensor and a second sensor data collected by a second lidar sensor of a vehicle. An object is detected based at least in part on the first sensor data and the second sensor data. A difference between the first sensor data associated with the object and the second sensor data associated with the object is determined, the difference corresponding with blooming of the first sensor data or the second sensor data. The vehicle is controlled based at least in part on the difference between the first sensor data and the second sensor data.
