Abstract

A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive radar data including a radar pixel having a radial velocity from a radar; receive camera data including an image frame including camera pixels from a camera; map the radar pixel to the image frame; generate a region of the image frame surrounding the radar pixel; determine association scores for the respective camera pixels in the region; select a first camera pixel of the camera pixels from the region, the first camera pixel having a greatest association score of the association scores; and calculate a full velocity of the radar pixel using the radial velocity of the radar pixel and a first optical flow at the first camera pixel. The association scores indicate a likelihood that the respective camera pixels correspond to a same point in an environment as the radar pixel.
