  • Patent number: 11688099
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for detecting an obstacle, and relates to the technical field of intelligent transportation. A specific implementation plan is: acquiring a current image acquired by a camera; inputting the current image into a pre-trained detection model to obtain a position of a detection frame of an obstacle and determine a first pixel coordinate of a grounding point in the current image; determining an offset between the current image and a template image; converting the first pixel coordinate into a world coordinate of the grounding point based on the offset; and outputting the world coordinate of the grounding point as a position of the obstacle in a world coordinate system. This embodiment solves the problem of camera jitter from an image perspective, greatly improves the robustness of the roadside perception system, and saves computing resources.
