Abstract

With the significant development of practicability in deep learning and the ultra-high-speed information transmission rate of 5G communication technology will overcome the barrier of data transmission on the Internet of Vehicles, automated driving is becoming a pivotal technology affecting the future industry. Sensors are the key to the perception of the outside world in the automated driving system and whose cooperation performance directly determines the safety of automated driving vehicles. In this survey, we mainly discuss the different strategies of multi-sensor fusion in automated driving in recent years. The performance of conventional sensors and the necessity of multi-sensor fusion are analyzed, including radar, LiDAR, camera, ultrasonic, GPS, IMU, and V2X. According to the differences in the latest studies, we divide the fusion strategies into four categories and point out some shortcomings. Sensor fusion is mainly applied for multi-target tracking and environment reconstruction. We discuss the method of establishing a motion model and data association in multi-target tracking. At the end of the paper, we analyzed the deficiencies in the current studies and put forward some suggestions for further improvement in the future. Through this investigation, we hope to analyze the current situation of multi-sensor fusion in the automated driving process and provide more efficient and reliable fusion strategies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
