Sensorfusion Using Spatio-Temporal Aligned Video and Lidar for Improved Vehicle Detection

Abstract
This contribution introduces a novel approach to cross-calibrate automotive vision and ranging sensors. The resulting sensor alignment allows the incorporation of multiple sensor data into a detection and tracking framework. Exemplarily, we show how a realtime vehicle detection system, intended for emergency breaking or ACC applications, benefits from the low level fusion of multibeam lidar and vision sensor measurements in discrimination performance and computational complexity
