SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING A VEHICLE USING HIGH PRECISION AND HIGH RECALL DETECTION

This disclosure provides systems and methods for detecting and tracking objects or obstacles in an environment of an autonomous vehicle. The method may include receiving data from a set of sensors, wherein the data represents objects or obstacles in an environment of the autonomous vehicle; and using a processor: generating high precision detection data based on the received data; identifying, from the high precision detection data, a set of objects that are classifiable by at least one known classifier; generating high recall detection data based on the received data; identifying from the high recall detection data a set of obstacles; and performing an operation on the high precision detection data of the objects and the high recall detection data of the obstacles, based on a status of the autonomous vehicle or based on one or more characteristics of the objects or the obstacles.
