Abstract
A vehicle position and velocity estimation system based on camera and LIDAR data is disclosed. An embodiment includes: receiving input object data from a subsystem of a vehicle, the input object data including image data from an image generating device and distance data from a distance measuring device, the distance measuring device comprising one or more LIDAR sensors; determining a first position of a proximate object near the vehicle from the image data; determining a second position of the proximate object from the distance data; correlating the first position and the second position by matching the first position of the proximate object detected in the image data with the second position of the same proximate object detected in the distance data; determining a three-dimensional (3D) position of the proximate object using the correlated first and second positions; and using the 3D position of the proximate object to navigate the vehicle.
