Lidar and camera data fusion for automated vehicle
A data-fusion system that fuses lidar-data and camera-data for an automated vehicle includes a camera, a lidar, and a controller. The camera renders an image of an object proximate to a host-vehicle. The lidar detects a distance and a direction to the object based on a reflected-signal of light reflected by the object. The controller is in communication with the camera and the lidar. The controller is configured to determine a reflectivity-characteristic of the object based on the image and the reflected-signal, and adjust a detection-characteristic of the lidar when the reflectivity-characteristic of the object makes it difficult for the lidar to detect the distance and the direction to the object.
