Abstract:
A method performed by an electronic device is described. The method includes generating a depth map of a scene external to a vehicle. The method also includes performing first processing in a first direction of a depth map to determine a first non-obstacle estimation of the scene. The method also includes performing second processing in a second direction of the depth map to determine a second non-obstacle estimation of the scene. The method further includes combining the first non-obstacle estimation and the second non-obstacle estimation to determine a non-obstacle map of the scene. The combining includes combining comprises selectively using a first reliability map of the first processing and/or a second reliability map of the second processing The method additionally includes navigating the vehicle using the non-obstacle map.
