1. A method comprising:
obtaining sensor data representative of a geographical area, the sensor data including one or more sensor data sets, at least one sensor data set of the one or more sensor data sets being obtained using one or more sensors disposed on a corresponding ego-machine of one or more ego-machines during traversal through the geographical area by the corresponding ego-machine; and
determining that an object indicated by the sensor data is a static object based at least on at least a threshold number of sensor data sets that individually indicate a presence of the object at a particular location in the geographical area.
