Abstract
Exemplary embodiments include systems and methods to maintain tracking of an object that passes into an occluded area, including defining a map of a driving area; defining one or more occlusion areas within the map; detecting an object using sensor data from one or more sensors; creating an object track for the object detected using sensor data; determining that the object track entered one of the one or more occlusion areas; and maintaining the object track while the object track remains in the one or more occlusion areas.
