Abstract
A method and system of operating a vehicle includes a first sensor generating first sensor data for an object comprising a first bounding box from a first sensor. The first sensor data comprising a first confidence score. A second sensor generates second sensor data for the object comprising a second bounding box from a second sensor different than the second sensor. The second sensor data comprises a second confidence score. A bounding box circuit is programmed to generate a third confidence score for the object based on the first sensor data and the second sensor data and utilize the first sensor data, the second sensor data and the third confidence score to control operation of a vehicle system.
