Abstract

A method for training a CNN by using a camera and a radar together, to thereby allow the CNN to perform properly even when an object depiction ratio of a photographed image acquired through the camera is low due to a bad condition of a photographing circumstance is provided. And the method includes steps of: (a) a learning device instructing a convolutional layer to apply a convolutional operation to a multichannel integrated image, to thereby generate a feature map; (b) the learning device instructing an output layer to apply an output operation to the feature map, to thereby generate estimated object information; and (c) the learning device instructing a loss layer to generate a loss by using the estimated object information and GT object information corresponding thereto, and to perform backpropagation by using the loss, to thereby learn at least part of parameters in the CNN.
