  • Publication number: 20240104935
    Abstract: An apparatus for recognizing an object includes a camera that obtains a 2D image, a lidar that obtains a 3D image, and a processor. The processor generates a bird's-eye view (BEV) feature map by extracting features from a two-dimensional plane BEV generated based on 3D information. The processor also generates an image feature map by extracting features of a multi-channel 2D image in which the 3D information is added to the 2D image. The processor also generates a complex feature map by mixing the image feature map and the BEV feature map. The processor also recognizes the object by artificial intelligence learning the complex feature map.
