Abstract

A method and an apparatus optimizes scan data obtained by sensors on vehicle, and corrects trajectory for a vehicle/robot based on the optimized scan data. The method for optimizing the scan data obtained by scanning environment elements, includes: step of obtaining the scan data, including obtaining at least two frames of scan data respectively corresponding to different timings; step of cluster processing, based on the characteristic of the data points, including classifying the plurality of data points in each frame of the scan data into one or more clusters; step of establishing correspondence, among the at least two frames of scan data, including searching and obtaining at least one set of clusters having correspondence; step of optimizing clusters, among the at least two frames of scan data, including conducting calculation to each set of the at least one set of clusters having correspondence, to obtain optimized clusters respectively corresponding to each set of the at least one set of clusters having correspondence; and step of optimizing the scan data, including accumulating all optimized clusters to obtain an optimized scan date for the at least two frames of scan data.
