Surrounding Objects Detection and Tracking for Autonomous Driving Using LiDAR and Radar Fusion

Abstract Radar and LiDAR are two environmental sensors commonly used in autonomous vehicles, Lidars are accurate in determining objects’ positions but significantly less accurate as Radars on measuring their velocities. However, Radars relative to Lidars are more accurate on measuring objects veloci...
