Obstacles located in an external environment of a vehicle can be classified. At least a portion of the external environment can be sensed using one or more sensors to acquire sensor data. An obstacle candidate can be identified based on the acquired sensor data. An occlusion status for the identified obstacle candidate can be determined. The occlusion status can be a ratio of acquired sensor data for the obstacle candidate that is occluded to all acquired sensor data for the obstacle candidate. A classification for the obstacle candidate can be determined based on the determined occlusion status. A driving maneuver for the vehicle can be determined at least partially based on the determined classification for the obstacle candidate. The vehicle can be caused to implement the determined driving maneuver. The vehicle can be an autonomous vehicle.
