Dynamic grid fusion for low-speed automated driving

To overcome the limitations of current sensor fusion approaches, we propose an integrated sensor fusion approach – the Dynamic Grid – that jointly determines dynamic objects, the static environment and free space. The Dynamic Grid incorporates data from cameras that provide semantic point clouds, high resolution radar and LiDAR sensors. It operates on a low data level and does not require further preprocessing. With this approach, high detection and low false alarm rates can be achieved while still being real-time capable on typical automotive CPUs.
