Abstract
A system and method for drivable road surface representation generation using multimodal sensor data are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: receiving image data from an image generating device mounted on a vehicle and receiving three dimensional (3D) point cloud data from a distance measuring device mounted on the vehicle; projecting the 3D point cloud data onto the 2D image data to produce mapped image and point cloud data; performing post-processing operations on the mapped image and point cloud data; and performing a smoothing operation on the processed mapped image and point cloud data to produce a drivable road surface map or representation.
