Abstract

A system includes a Lidar sensor and a processor. The processor is programmed to detect, using Lidar sensor data, a low-density area comprising a plurality of Lidar beam reflections less than a threshold, to determine dimensions of the area, and to determine that the area represents a physical object based on the detection and determination.
