Abstract
A method for generating a dense light detection and ranging (LiDAR) representation by a vision system includes receiving, at a sparse depth network, one or more sparse representations of an environment. The method also includes generating a depth estimate of the environment depicted in an image captured by an image capturing sensor. The method further includes generating, via the sparse depth network, one or more sparse depth estimates based on receiving the one or more sparse representations. The method also includes fusing the depth estimate and the one or more sparse depth estimates to generate a dense depth estimate. The method further includes generating the dense LiDAR representation based on the dense depth estimate and controlling an action of the vehicle based on identifying a three-dimensional object in the dense LiDAR representation.
