Abstract
A computer implemented method. Includes: obtaining, from a sensor system onboard a vehicle, a plurality of hypotheses for an orientation of an object in a vicinity of the vehicle, relative to a coordinate system of the vehicle; estimating, based on the plurality of hypotheses, values of a probability distribution for the orientation of the object at a plurality of candidate orientations; and estimating, based at least in part on the estimated values of the probability distribution at the plurality of candidate orientations, the orientation of the object relative to the coordinate system.
