Fusing Radar and Vision for Detecting, Classifying and Avoiding Roadway Obstacles

Conference Paper, Proceedings of IEEE Symposium on Intelligent Vehicles (IV '96), pp. 333 - 338, September, 1996

Abstract

This paper describes an integrated MMW radar and vision sensor system for autonomous on-road navigation. The radar sensor has a range of approximately 200 metres and uses a linear array of receivers and wavefront reconstruction techniques to compute range and bearing of objects within the field of view. It is integrated with a vision based lane keeping system to accurately detect and classify obstacles with respect to the danger they pose to the vehicle and to execute required avoidance maneuvres.
