  • Device and a method for distinguishing between traversable and nontraversable objects
    Patent number: 10657393
    Abstract: A device for distinguishing between traversable and non-traversable objects. The device includes: an object-detection sensor unit configured generate data about a space around the sensor, a map generation unit configured to use the data to generate an occupancy grid map and a free space grid map for the space around the object-detection sensor unit. Each of the occupancy grid map and the free space grid map includes an array of cells. Each cell of the occupancy grid map contains an occupied space probability value representing the probability for the respective cell being occupied and each cell of the free grid map contains a free space probability value representing the probability for the respective cell being free.
