Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques for fusing camera and radar frames to perform object detection in one or more spatial domains. In an aspect, an on-board computer of a host vehicle receives, from a camera sensor of the host vehicle, a plurality of camera frames, receives, from a radar sensor of the host vehicle, a plurality of radar frames, performs a camera feature extraction process on a first camera frame of the plurality of camera frames to generate a first camera feature map, performs a radar feature extraction process on a first radar frame of the plurality of radar frames to generate a first radar feature map, converts the first camera feature map and/or the first radar feature map to a common spatial domain, and concatenates the first radar feature map and the first camera feature map to generate a first concatenated feature map in the common spatial domain.
