Abstract
Techniques for determining labels for potentially non-impeding objects in an environment are disclosed. Unlabeled lidar segments may be evaluated to determine whether they are located in a drivable road in an environment and to determine a lidar intensity value for the segments. Based on the intensity and whether the segment is in a drivable region, the system determines a corresponding range of lidar values associated with a label or no label. The system assigns the label (or no label) associated with the corresponding range. The label and associated segment data may then be used to classify an object associated with the segment, control a vehicle, and train a machine-learned model.
