Abstract

Systems and techniques are provided for online occupancy state estimation. Signals may be received from sensors distributed in an environment. The signals may include reports from the sensors. Occupancy state estimates may be generated for a ground-truth estimate sequence for the environment. Each occupancy state estimate may correspond to an interval of a time period. An online occupancy model may be generated. based at least partially on the ground-truth estimate sequence for the environment. A current occupancy state estimate may be generated for the environment using the online occupancy model and sensor states of the sensors. The sensor states may be based on the reports from the sensors.
