Creating a representation of visible space around a machine using a previously determined combined occupancy grid

Abstract

A system for creating a representation of visible space around a machine using a previously determined combined occupancy grid. The system includes a plurality of sensors and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to determine a combined occupancy grid associated with a first time, wherein the combined occupancy grid is determined based on sensor data associated with the first time and received from the plurality of sensors. The electronic processor is also configured to receive, from the plurality of sensors, sensor data associated with a second time and determine a representation of visible space associated with the second time based on the combined occupancy grid associated with the first time and the sensor data associated with the second time. The electronic processor is further configured to control a movement of the machine based on the representation of visible space associated with the second time.
