Multiple object detection and tracking are central aspects of modeling the environment of autonomous vehicles. Lidar is a necessary component in the autonomous driving system. Without Lidar sensors, we will most probably not see fully self-driving cars become a reality. ...In advanced driver assistance systems or automated driving systems, 3-D point clouds from lidar scans are typically used to measure physical surfaces. Lidar is a powerful sensor that you can use in challenging environments where other sensors might prove inadequate. ...Lidar is a powerful sensor that you can use in challenging environments where other sensors might prove inadequate. Lidar can provide a complete 360-degree view of a scene. This paper designs Lidar based multi-target detection and tracking system based on the traditional point cloud processing method including down-sampling, denoising, segmentation, and clustering objects.

This system is composed of an external redundant 3600 spinning LiDAR sensor and a redundant ECU that is running a single task to steer and fully stop the vehicle in emergency situations (e.g., vehicle crash, system failure, sensor failures, vehicle pile-up, etc.) by creating a map and occupancy grid of the LiDAR PointClouds, plan a path and follow the path to full stop in a short time and safe manner. ...., vehicle crash, system failure, sensor failures, vehicle pile-up, etc.) by creating a map and occupancy grid of the LiDAR PointClouds, plan a path and follow the path to full stop in a short time and safe manner.

For this study a LiDAR was mounted at the FEV North America parking lot in a hidden intersection with a C-V2X roadside unit. ...This unit was used to process the LiDAR point cloud and transmit the information of the detected objects to an onboard C-V2X unit.

But developers must determine how to mitigate undesirable side-effects. Lidar: autonomy's mission-critical component Automated-driving capability likely won't happen without Lidar. ...Lidar: autonomy's mission-critical component Automated-driving capability likely won't happen without Lidar. But what technology-and at what price? Formula One goes longer, lower, wider for 2017 New rules make the cars faster and more aggressive-looking, with a wider track, wider tires and bigger wings.

This paper discusses an approach of utilizing satellite images to estimate the drivable areas of agriculture fields with the aid of LiDAR sensor data to provide the necessary information for the vehicle to navigate autonomously. ...The images are used to detect the field boundaries while the LiDAR sensor detects the obstacles that the vehicle encounters during the autonomous driving as well as its type.

First, the map is developed using a high-definition LiDAR (Velodyne HDL 64E) and a RTK-GNSS system, which contains lane-level waypoints, road width, curb and typical obstacles along the road.

After a careful analysis of different LIDAR and non-vision passive infrared sensors are implemented and explored. This paper proposes a decision model using the combinations of some simple models of the driver, the vehicle, the control unit, and obstacle detection.

In this paper, we introduce one imu radar loosely coupled SLAM method based on our 4D millimeter-wave image radar which it outputs pointcloud containing xyz position information and power information in our autonomous vehicles. at common pointcloud-based slam such as lidar slam usually adopt imu-lidar tightly coupled structure, which slam front end outputs odometry reversly affect imu preintegration. slam system badness occurs when front end odometry drift bigger and bigger or one frame pointcloud match failed. so in our method, we decouple imu and radar odometry crossed relationship, fusing imu and wheel odometry to generate one rough pose trajectory as initial guess value for front end registration, not directly from radar estimated odometry pose, that is to say, front end registration is independent of imu preintegration. besides, we empirically propose one idea juding front end registration result to identify match-less environment and adopt relative wheel odometry pose instead of registration pose when match belief value(mbv) is false. this can handle some degrade environment, such as two-side similar greenbelt. finally, to increase loop detection robustness, we propose two-stage loop detection verify method. first stage is RS(radius search) method, if it passes loop verify, not enter second stage, otherwise enter SC(scan context) second stage, after two stage loop, most real loop can be detected by our slam system. based on above ideas, at multi scene’s datasets, office park, residential area, open road, underground parkingplace etc, we can run our slam system successfully, meanwhile at our office park dataset we compare trajectory precision with tightly-coupled slam structure and the detected loop number with one stage loop method, exprimental result proved our proposed method is valid.

(Ultrasonic, Cameras, Radar, LIDAR). This paper presents a remote diagnosis, maintenance and prognosis (RDMP) framework for ADAS, which can be used during development phase and mainly after production.

Contemporary ADS and ADAS localization technology utilizes real-time perception sensors such as visible light cameras, radar sensors, and lidar sensors, greatly improving transportation safety in sufficiently clear environmental conditions.

In the early days, vehicles sensed the surrounding environment through sensors such as cameras, radar, and lidar. With the development of 5G technology and the Vehicle-to-everything (V2X), other information from the roadside can also be received by vehicles.

The integration of advanced sensors like LiDARs has significantly enhanced distance estimation. Cameras and deep neural networks are also employed to estimate the road conditions.

Autonomous Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS) usually contain radar, (stereo) camera and/or LiDAR-based technology to identify potential collision partners ahead of the car, such that to warn the driver or automatically brake to avoid or mitigate a crash. The advantage of camera is less cost: however, is inevitable to face the defects of cameras in AEBS, that is, the image recognition cannot perform good accuracy in the poor or over-exposure light condition. Therefore, the compensation of other sensors is of importance. Motivated by the improvement of false detection, we propose a Pedestrian-and-Vehicle Recognition (PVR) algorithm based on radar to apply to AEBS. The PVR employs the radar cross section (RCS) and standard deviation of width of obstacle to determine whether a threshold value of RCS and standard deviation of width of the pedestrian and vehicle is crossed, and to identity that the objective is a pedestrian or vehicle, respectively.
