METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR COMPUTER-BASED DETERMINING OF PRESENCE OF OBJECTS

A method of and system for processing Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) point cloud data. The method is executable by an electronic device, communicatively coupled to a LIDAR installed on a vehicle, the LIDAR having a plurality of lasers for capturing LIDAR point cloud data. The method includes receiving a first LIDAR point cloud data captured by the LIDAR; executing a Machine Learning Algorithm (MLA) for: analyzing a first plurality of LIDAR points of the first point cloud data in relation to a response pattern of the plurality of lasers; retrieving a grid representation data of a surrounding area of the vehicle; determining if the first plurality of LIDAR points is associated with a blind spot, the blind spot preventing a detection algorithm of the electronic device to detect presence of at least one object surrounding the vehicle conditioned on the at least one object is present.
