DOCUMENTATION (Download the speakers presentations) >>

For future automotive safety applications, exterior sensors are increasingly important. Typical examples are radar sensors and camera systems used in vehicles. To fulfil the objectives of automotive safety systems, information from more than a single sensor will be integrated. Thus, technologies to fuse information and measurements from different sensors are investigated both within the Swedish SEFS project and in the European ProFusion2 initiative.

This seminar will give an overview of area of automotive sensor data fusion and the findings of both research projects.
