  • Autonomous vehicle controlled based upon a lidar data segmentation system and an aligned heightmap
    Patent number: 10884411
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle is described herein. The autonomous vehicle includes a lidar sensor system. The autonomous vehicle additionally includes a computing system that executes a lidar segmentation system, wherein the lidar segmentation system is configured to identify objects that are in proximity to the autonomous vehicle based upon output of the lidar sensor system. The computing system further includes a deep neural network (DNN), where the lidar segmentation system identifies the objects in proximity to the autonomous vehicle based upon output of the DNN. The computing system is further configured to align a heightmap to lidar data output by the lidar sensor system based upon output of the DNN. The lidar segmentation system can identify objects in proximity to the autonomous vehicle based upon the aligned heightmap.
