A system may receive point cloud data that includes one or more data points associated with an object that was detected by sensors of an autonomous vehicle. The system may identify a subset of the point cloud data having data points that are associated with a likelihood of a pedestrian entering a scene with the object, determine a current probability value using a logistic function that is associated with the subset of the point cloud data, determine, based at least in part on the current probability value, a probability value representing a likelihood of the pedestrian actually being present for the subset of the point cloud data, determine whether the probability value exceeds a false alarm threshold value, and in response to the probability value exceeding the false alarm threshold value, assign data points of the subset an attribute value indicative of the pedestrian being present.
