Techniques for estimating a height range of an object in an environment are discussed herein. For example, a sensor, such as a lidar sensor, can capture three-dimensional data of an environment. The sensor data can be associated with a two-dimensional representation. A ground surface can be removed from the sensor data, and clustering techniques can be used to cluster remaining sensor data provided in a two-dimensional representation to determine object(s) represented therein. A height of a sensor object can be represented as a first height based on an extent of the sensor data associated with the object and can be represented as a second height based on beam spreading aspects of the sensor data and/or sensor data associated with additional objects. Thus, a minimum and/or maximum height of an object can be determined in a robust manner. Such height ranges can be used to control an autonomous vehicle.
