Abstract

Recent advances have shown sensor-fusion’s vital role in accurate detection, especially for advanced driver assistance
systems. We introduce a novel procedure for depth upsampling and sensor-fusion that together lead to an improved detection
performance, compared to state-of-the-art results for detecting cars. Upsampling is generally based on combining data
from an image to compensate for the low resolution of a LiDAR (Light Detector and Ranging). This paper, on the other
hand, presents a framework to obtain dense depth map solely from a single LiDAR point cloud that makes it possible to
use just one deep network for both LiDAR and image modalities. The produced full-depth map is added to the grayscale
version of the image to produce a two-channel input for a deep neural network. The simple preprocessing structure is
efficiently competent in filing cars’ shapes, which helps the fusion framework to outperforms the state-of-the-art on the
KITTI object detection for the Car class. Additionally, the combination of depth and image makes it easier for the network
to discriminate highly occluded and truncated vehicles.
