Publication number: 20220171976Abstract: The disclosure provides an environment perception device and method of a mobile vehicle. The environment perception device includes a camera module, a LiDAR module, a database and a processing circuit. The camera module photographs a field near the mobile vehicle to generate a three-dimensional (3D) image frame. The LiDAR module scans the field to generate a 3D scanned frame. The processing circuit fuses the 3D image frame and the 3D scanned frame to generate 3D object information. The processing circuit compares the 3D object information with a 3D map in the database to determine whether an object is a static object.
