Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods and systems for operating an autonomous vehicle. In some embodiments, the system may obtain, by a camera associated with an autonomous vehicle, an image of an environment of the autonomous vehicle, the environment including a road on which the autonomous vehicle is operating and an occlusion on the road. The system may identify the occlusion in the image based on map information of the environment and at least one camera parameter of the camera for obtaining the image. The system may identify an object represented in the image, and determine a confidence score relating to the object. The confidence score may indicate a likelihood a representation of the object in the image is impacted by the occlusion. The system may determine an operation algorithm based on the confidence score; and cause the autonomous vehicle to operate based on the operation algorithm.
