Abstract

Techniques for determining detection boxes representing objects in an environment using improved corner detections are disclosed herein. Autonomous vehicle sensors can capture data in an environment that may include separate objects, such as large and/or articulated vehicles. In an example, the data can include a plurality of points that may be processed to identify object corners. Locations of points in clusters of points associated with particular object corners may be aggregated to determine a predicted corner point that may be used to adjust the detection box for that object, thereby generating a more accurate detection box for the object. A vehicle computing system can control the vehicle using the adjusted detection box.
