Abstract: A sensor data fusion system for a vehicle with multiple sensors includes a first-sensor, a second-sensor, and a controller-circuit. The first-sensor is configured to output a first-frame of data and a subsequent-frame of data indicative of objects present in a first-field-of-view. The first-frame is characterized by a first-time-stamp, the subsequent-frame of data characterized by a subsequent-time-stamp different from the first-time-stamp. The second-sensor is configured to output a second-frame of data indicative of objects present in a second-field-of-view that overlaps the first-field-of-view. The second-frame is characterized by a second-time-stamp temporally located between the first-time-stamp and the subsequent-time-stamp. The controller-circuit is configured to synthesize an interpolated-frame from the first-frame and the subsequent-frame. The interpolated-frame is characterized by an interpolated-time-stamp that corresponds to the second-time-stamp. The controller-circuit fuses the interpolated-frame with the second-frame to provide a fused-frame of data characterized by the interpolated-time-stamp, and operates the host-vehicle in accordance with the fused-frame.

Abstract: A includes a vehicle and a drone. The vehicle includes a sensor system, a navigation system, a map, and a receiver. The sensor system provides vehicle location data to the navigation system that locates the vehicle on a roadway represented by the map. The sensor system includes one or more of a computer vision system, a radar system, and a LIDAR system. The drone includes a transmitter and at least one position-tracking device configured to determine drone location data. Drone use is initiated from the vehicle in accordance with a determination by the processor that the vehicle location data provided by the sensor system is insufficient for the navigation system to navigate the vehicle. The transmitter is configured to transmit the drone location data to the receiver.
