LIDAR OBJECT DETECTION SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED VEHICLES

An object-detection system (10) suitable for an automated vehicle includes a lidar (20) and a controller (26). The lidar (20) is used to detect a point-cloud (22) that is organized into a plurality of scan-lines. The controller (26) is in communication with the lidar (20). The controller (26) is con...

Zusammenfassung:	An object-detection system (10) suitable for an automated vehicle includes a lidar (20) and a controller (26). The lidar (20) is used to detect a point-cloud (22) that is organized into a plurality of scan-lines. The controller (26) is in communication with the lidar (20). The controller (26) is configured to classify each detected point in the point-cloud (22) as a ground-point (28) or a non-ground-point (30), define runs (32) of non-ground-points (30), where each run (32) characterized by one or multiple instances of adjacent non-ground-points (30) in a scan-line (24) separated from a subsequent run (32) of one or more non-ground-points (30) by at least one instance of a ground-point (28), define a cluster of non-ground-points (30) associated with the object (14). The cluster is characterized by a first run from a first scan-line being associated with a second run from a second scan-line when a first point from the first run is displaced less than a distance-threshold (36) from a second point from the second run.
