SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRESENTING A RECONSTRUCTED REPRESENTATION OF A MOVING OBJECT DETECTED IN A SCENE

Abstract:

Examples disclosed herein may involve (i) identifying, in a 3D point cloud representative of a real-world environment in which a vehicle was operating during a window of time, a set of 3D data points associated with an object detected in the environment that comprises different subsets of 3D data points corresponding to different capture times within the window of time, (ii) based at least on the 3D data points, evaluating a trajectory of the object and thereby determining that the object was in motion during some portion of the window of time, (iii) in response to determining that the object was in motion, reconstructing the different subsets of 3D data points into a single, assembled 3D representation of the object, and (iv) generating a time-aggregated, 3D visualization of the environment that presents the single, assembled 3D representation of the object at one or more points along the trajectory of the object.
