Abstract
Techniques for determining false positive detections in sensor data to remove such data from use in vehicle control operations are described. For an individual sensor detection, the system determines whether a difference between primary and secondary error values for one or more measurements is sufficient and, if so, the sensor detection is considered a true positive. If the error difference is insufficient, the system determines if the sensor detection correlates with a sufficient number of true positive sensor detections, and if so, the sensor detection is designated a true positive. If not, the sensor detection is a false positive and is removed from use in further operations, such as vehicle control operations.
