Abstract
The present teaching relates to a method, system, medium, and implementation of processing image data in an autonomous driving vehicle. Sensor data acquired by one or more types of sensors deployed on the vehicle are continuously received. The sensor data provide different information about surrounding of the vehicle. Based on a first data set acquired by a first sensor of a first type of the one or more types of sensors at a specific time, an object is detected, where the first data set provides a first type of information about the surrounding of the vehicle. Depth information of the object is then estimated via object centric stereo at object level based on the object detected as well as a second data set acquired by a second sensor of the first type of the one or more types of sensors at the specific time. The second data set provides the first type of information about the surrounding of the vehicle with a different perspective as compared with the first data set.
