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.

Abstract: A method of production of carbamic acid ester has a high yield and high selectivity and is superior in economy. The method of production of a carbamic acid ester includes reacting an amine, carbon dioxide, and an alkoxysilane compound in the presence of a catalyst containing a zinc compound or an alkali metal compound or in the presence of an ionic liquid. A carbamic acid ester is produced, for example by reacting aniline, carbon dioxide, and tetramethoxysilane at a temperature of 150 to 180° C. in the presence of zinc acetate and 2,2?-bipyridine.
