Associating object detections for sensor data processing in autonomous systems and applications

Abstract

In various examples, associating object detections for sensor data processing for autonomous and semi-autonomous systems and applications is described herein. Systems and methods described herein may group object detections (e.g., echoes, etc.) that are detected using multiple sensors (e.g., ultrasonic sensors, sonar sensors, etc.) and then use the groupings to process the object detections to perform one or more tasks, such as object or feature detection. In some examples, the object detections are grouped using one or more configurations, such as an order associated with analyzing sensor data generated using the sensors and/or threshold distances associated with determining that object detections are associated with the same object. Additionally, a respective group may be generated for one or more (e.g., each) detected object such that the locations of the object surrounding the machine may be determined.
