Abstract
According to some embodiments, a system receives a captured image perceiving an environment of an ADV from an image capturing device of the ADV. The system identifies an obstacle in motion near the ADV based on the captured image. The system predicts a location for the moving obstacle at each of a number of time points. The system generates a probability ellipse based on the predicted location at the each time point, where the probability ellipse includes a probability indicator indicating different probabilities of the moving obstacle for different locations within the probability ellipse at the each time point.
