Road Scene Understanding by Occupancy Grid Learning from Sparse Radar Clusters using Semantic Segmentation

Understand

Occupancy grid mapping is an important component in road scene understanding for autonomous driving.

• It encapsulates information of the drivable area, road obstacles and enables safe autonomous driving.
• Radars are an emerging sensor in autonomous vehicle vision, becoming more widely used due to their long range sensing, low cost, and robustness to severe weather conditions.
• Despite recent advances in deep learning technology, occupancy grid mapping from radar data is still mostly done using classical filtering approaches.In this work, we propose learning the inverse sensor model used for occupancy grid mapping from clustered radar data.
