Abstract
A system for detecting and tracking objects using lidar can include one or more processors configured to receive lidar data. The one or more processors can determine shape data from the lidar data. The shape data can be indicative of an object. The one or more processors can determine a plurality of extents of the object based on the shape data. The one or more processors can update a state of the object based on the plurality of extents, the state including a boundary of the object. The one or more processors can provide the state of the object to an autonomous vehicle controller to cause the autonomous vehicle controller to control an autonomous vehicle responsive to the state of the object.
