Abstract:
Methods, systems, and products for resolving level ambiguity for radar systems of autonomous vehicles may include detecting a plurality of objects with a radar system. Each first detected object may be associated with an existing tracked object based on a first position thereof. First tracked object data based on a first height determined for each first detected object may be stored. The first height may be based on the position of the detected object, the existing tracked object, and a tile map. Second tracked object data based on a second height determined for each second detected object not associated with the existing tracked object(s) may be stored. The second height may be based on a position of each second detected object, a vector map, and the tile map. A command to cause the autonomous vehicle to perform at least one autonomous driving operation may be issued.
