Abstract
Techniques for identifying false-positives caused by sensor deflection off of reflective surfaces. The techniques may include receiving data indicating a presence of an object in an environment of a vehicle. Based at least in part on the data, a determination may be made that the object is occluded from view by another object in the environment. The techniques may also include determining that a retroreflective surface is located within a threshold proximity of the other object in the environment. Based at least in part on the retroreflective surface being located within the threshold proximity of the other object, a determination may be made that the presence of the object is caused by a false-positive condition associated with a sensor of the vehicle reflecting off of the retroreflective surface. In some instances, the object may be labeled as a false-positive object that is absent from the environment.
