Local Map Construction Based on 3D-LiDAR and Camera

Abstract

The local map can update the local environment information in real time, which provides the environment information for the local dynamic planning of the robot. In this paper, a local cost map construction method based on 3D-LIDAR and camera is proposed. We use camera to detect lane lines in structured road and 3D-LIDAR to detect road boundaries in unstructured environment, and then use DS evidence reasoning to determine the current local road information. Dynamic obstacle information in the environment is obtained through 3D point cloud data segmentation, which is fused with the road information to get 3D point cloud information in the local range and generate local cost map according to it. Experiments show that the method in this paper can accurately extract the current road information whether in structured roads or unstructured roads. The fused local cost map can enable the robot to perform reasonable local planning and complete navigation on the current road.
