Abstract: A visual guidance system for a vehicle includes an imaging system for producing a digital image of an environment, a three-dimensional scanning system for producing a digital point cloud of the environment, and a memory storing instructions executable by a processor to: process the digital image to detect an object and classify the object; process the point cloud to group points into a grouping representing the object; fuse the point cloud grouping with the digital image object to produce a fused data set frame, and determine the object location from the fused data set frame; determine an object velocity relative to the vehicle by comparing the fused data set frame to a previous data set frame; determine whether the object is an obstacle based on the object location and relative velocity; determine a threat level of the obstacle; and report a threat if the threat level exceeds a threshold.
