Systems and Methods to Manage Tracking of Objects Through Occluded Regions

Exemplary embodiments include systems and methods to maintain tracking of an object that passes into an occluded area, including defining a map of a driving area; defining one or more occlusion areas within the map; detecting an object using sensor data from one or more sensors; creating an object track for the object detected using sensor data; determining that the object track entered one of the one or more occlusion areas; and maintaining the object track while the object track remains in the one or more occlusion areas.
