Part of Signal processing for environment-aware radar (SPEAR)
This research strand sits within SPEAR’s multimodal sensing sub-project. It combines camera information with radar-based occupancy-grid mapping, using visual context to inform the prior beliefs used by the mapping method.
The related paper presents a camera-aided binary-prior approach for automotive occupancy-grid mapping.
Research question
How can camera observations provide reliable prior information when automotive radar must estimate occupied space?
Contribution
Introduces camera-aided binary priors that strengthen occupancy-grid estimates while retaining the radar-centric mapping pipeline.
