Claims16
A method, comprising:
- generating, in a computer, a map of an area from first sensor data of a first field of view of a first sensor including a blocked area, and second sensor data of a second field of view of a second sensor having an unblocked view of the blocked area in the first field of view, wherein the second field of view is determined based on at least one of a position of the second sensor, a position of an obstacle, and a size of the obstacle;
- and
- providing the map to a vehicle for the vehicle to control vehicle operation based on the map.
A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory,
- the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
- generate a map of an area from first sensor data of a first field of view of a first sensor including a blocked area, and second sensor data of a second field of view of a second sensor having an unblocked view of the blocked area in the first field of view, wherein the second field of view is determined based on at least one of a position of the second sensor, a position of an obstacle, and a size of the obstacle;
- and
- provide the map to a vehicle for the vehicle to control vehicle operation based on the map.
