Abstract
A control system of an autonomous vehicle (AV) can receive sensor data from a sensor array of the AV. The sensor data can comprise raw radar data from a radar system of the sensor array, and in many examples, a live LIDAR data from a LIDAR system of the sensor array. In certain implementations the control system can access a current localization map or a live LIDAR map of a surrounding area of the AV, and compare the raw radar data with the current localization map or the live LIDAR map to identify multipath objects in the raw radar data. The control system may then remove the multipath objects or track the actual objects corresponding to the multipath objects accordingly.
