1. A method comprising:

  • assigning, by a computing system, a pre-classification to a detection event in an environmental model having an environmental coordinate field that spans multiple non-overlapping measurement coordinate fields of sensors mounted in a vehicle, wherein the detection event corresponds to spatially-aligned and temporally-aligned raw sensor measurements indicative of an object proximate to the vehicle, and wherein the environmental model is stored by the computing system and includes both the spatially-aligned and temporally-aligned raw sensor measurements and an indication of the detection event;

    updating, by the computing system, the environmental model to include new raw sensor measurements from the sensors mounted in the vehicle and corresponding detection events over time; and

    tracking, by the computing system, the detection event in the updated environmental model based on the assigned pre-classification of the detection event, wherein a control system for the vehicle is configured to control operation of the vehicle based, at least in part, on the tracked detection event.
