Apparatus and method for recognizing driving environment for autonomous vehicle

摘要

An apparatus and a method are provided for recognizing driving environment for an autonomous vehicle. The apparatus includes a controller configured to receive navigation information from a satellite navigation receiver. The controller is further configured to receive map data from a map storage and image data from an image sensor regarding captured images from around a vehicle and distance information from a distance sensor regarding sensed objects positioned around the vehicle. The controller is also configured to determine a fusion method for information measured by the image sensor and the distance sensor based on a receiving state of the satellite navigation receiver and precision of the map data to recognize the driving environment.

1. A system for recognizing a driving environment for an autonomous vehicle, comprising:
a memory configured to store program instructions; a processor configured to execute the program instructions, the program instructions when executed configured to:
receive navigation information from a satellite navigation receiver configured to receive a satellite signal from a satellite;receive map data from a map storage configured to store map data;receive image data from an image sensor configured to capture images around the autonomous vehicle;receive distance information from a distance sensor configured to sense objects positioned around the autonomous vehicle;determine a fusion method for information measured by the image sensor and the distance sensor based on a receiving state of the satellite navigation receiver and precision of the map data to recognize the driving environment;determine a reception strength of the navigation information;determine a precision level of the map data; andextract an object from information measured by the image sensor and the distance sensor based on the reception strength of the navigation information and the precision level of the map data, wherein the extracted object is used to recognize the driving environment.
