Abstract
A vehicular sensing system includes a sensor disposed at a vehicle. The vehicular sensing system generates a three-dimensional point cloud of data representing a three-dimensional scene exterior of the vehicle within a field of sensing of the sensor. The virtual range image includes a set of points representing the three-dimensional point cloud of data. The system, for each respective point, classifies the respective point as occluded or non-occluded. The system determines one or more occlusion regions based on the classification for the respective points. Each occlusion region includes a region that is within the field of sensing of the sensor but that is not sensed by the sensor due to an object obstructing the sensor from the sensing region. The system tracks a moving detected object as it enters an occlusion region and predicts where the moving detected object will exit from the occlusion region.
