Systems and methods for object detection. Object detection may be used to control autonomous vehicle(s). For example, the methods comprise: obtaining, by a computing device, a LiDAR dataset generated by a LiDAR system of autonomous vehicle; and using, by the computing device, the LiDAR dataset and image(s) to detect an object that is in proximity to the autonomous vehicle. The object is detected by performing the following operations: computing a distribution of object detections that each point of the LiDAR dataset is likely to be in; creating a plurality of segments of LiDAR data points using the distribution of object detections; merging the plurality of segments of LiDAR data points to generate merged segments; and detecting the object in a point cloud defined by the LiDAR dataset based on the merged segments. The object detection may be used by the computing device to facilitate at least one autonomous driving operation.
