 The Perception Component consists of the following sub-components:
 
-- **Object Recognition**: Recognizes dynamic objects surrounding the ego vehicle in the current frame and predicts their future trajectories.
-- **Obstacle Segmentation**: Identifies point clouds originating from obstacles(not only dynamic objects but also static obstacles that should be avoided, such as stationary obstacles) that the ego vehicle should avoid.
+- **Object Recognition**: Recognizes dynamic objects surrounding the ego vehicle in the current frame, objects that were not present during map creation, and predicts their future trajectories. This includes:
+  - Pedestrians
+  - Cars
+  - Trucks/Buses
+  - Bicycles
+  - Motorcycles
+  - Animals
+  - Traffic Cones
+  - Fallen Objects, Flying Objects, etc: Items such as cardboard, drums, wood, etc., either falling or airborne.
+- **Obstacle Segmentation**: Identifies point clouds originating from obstacles, including both dynamic objects and static obstacles that requires the ego vehicle either steer clear of them or come to a stop in front of the obstacles.
+  - This includes:
+    - all dynamic objects (as listed above)
+    - curbs/bollards
+    - barriers
+    - trees
+    - walls/buildings
+    - etc
+  - This does not include:
+    - grass
+    - water splashes
+    - smoke/vapor
+    - newspapers
+    - plastic bags
+    - etc
 - **Occupancy Grid Map**: Detects blind spots (areas where no information is available and where dynamic objects may jump out).
 - **Traffic Light Recognition**: Recognizes the colors of traffic lights and the directions of arrow signals.
