Abstract
Systems and methods for adjusting the dimensions of point clouds are described herein. In one example, a system includes a processor and a memory having instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to generate a bounding box using a point cloud generated by a sensor and adjust a dimension of the bounding box based on a magnitude of a viewing angle of a side of the bounding box with respect to the sensor.

A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory in communication with the processor, the memory storing an adjustment module having instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- generate a bounding box using a point cloud generated by a sensor, the bounding box representing an object,
- determine a confidence factor based on a magnitude of a viewing angle of a side of the bounding box with respect to the sensor, and
- adjust a dimension of the bounding box such that the side of the bounding box moves closer to the one or more points of the point cloud that correspond to the side of the bounding box by an adjustment distance, the adjustment distance being based on the confidence factor and is proportional to the confidence factor.
A method comprising steps of:
- generating a bounding box using a point cloud generated by a sensor, the bounding box representing an object;
- determining a confidence factor based on a magnitude of a viewing angle of a side of the bounding box with respect to the sensor;
- and
- adjusting a dimension of the bounding box such that the side of the bounding box moves closer to the one or more points of the point cloud that correspond to the side of the bounding box by an adjustment distance, the adjustment distance being based on the confidence factor and is proportional to the confidence factor.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to
- generate a bounding box using a point cloud generated by a sensor, the bounding box representing an object;
- determine a confidence factor based on a magnitude of a viewing angle of a side of the bounding box with respect to the sensor;
- and
- adjust a dimension of the bounding box such that the side of the bounding box moves closer to the one or more points of the point cloud that correspond to the side of the bounding box by an adjustment distance, the adjustment distance being based on the confidence factor and is proportional to the confidence factor.
