Abstract

An object detection method includes steps that are to be performed for each piece of point cloud data received from a lidar module, of selecting a first to-be-combined image from among images received from a camera device that corresponds in time to the piece of point cloud data, selecting a second to-be-combined image from among the images that is the Nth image before the first to-be-combined image in the time order, combining the first to-be-combined image and the second to-be-combined image to generate a combined image, generating a result image by incorporating the piece of point cloud data into the combined image, and inputting the result image into a trained machine learning model in order to determine a class to which each object in the result image belongs.
