Abstract
A computing system can determine a vehicle action based on determining a free space map based on combining video sensor data and radar sensor data. The computing system can further determine a path polynomial based on combining the free space map and lidar sensor data. The computing system can then operate a vehicle based on the path polynomial.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining a free space map of an environment around a vehicle by combining video sensor data and radar sensor data;
