Abstract
A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive radar data from a radar, the radar data including radar pixels having respective measured depths; receive camera data from a camera, the camera data including an image frame including camera pixels; map the radar pixels to the image frame; generate respective regions of the image frame surrounding the respective radar pixels; for each region, determine confidence scores for the respective camera pixels in that region; output a depth map of projected depths for the respective camera pixels based on the confidence scores; and operate a vehicle including the radar and the camera based on the depth map. The confidence scores indicate confidence in applying the measured depth of the radar pixel for that region to the respective camera pixels.
