Abstract
An autonomous vehicle comprises one or more processors. The processors can be configured to receive, from a sensor of the autonomous vehicle, an image of an environment outside of the autonomous vehicle. The processors can detect potential unknown objects based on the image. The processors can compare the detection based on the image to a set of data points of a LiDAR scan to determine if there are unknown objects on a roadway.
