Abstract
System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to acquiring remote sensor data and identifying occluded objects from the remote sensor data. In one embodiment, a method includes acquiring, within a vehicle from one or more remote sensors, remote sensor data that indicates information about a nearby environment of the vehicle. The method includes identifying an occluded object in the surrounding environment according to the remote sensor data, and local sensor data generated by the vehicle. The occluded object is obscured from being perceived by one or more vehicle sensors of the vehicle. The local sensor data indicates information about at least nearby objects that have been observed by the vehicle sensors. The method includes rendering, within the display of the vehicle, a visualization of the occluded object to provide a view of the occluded object when the occluded object is otherwise obscured from being perceived by the vehicle.
