Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. A computing device, comprising:
at least one interface to receive sensor data representative of an environment of a vehicle, the sensor data including: camera data providing at least one image of an object in the environment, and lidar data providing depth information of the object in the environment; and
at least one processor configured to perform operations to:
synchronize the sensor data based on timestamps indicating time of capture for the camera data and the lidar data;
define, from the camera data obtained at the time of capture, a first bounding box for the object;
define, from the lidar data obtained at the time of capture, a second bounding box for the object; and
fuse the first bounding box and second bounding box to define a fused bounding shape of the object, wherein fusion of the first bounding box and second bounding box is based on a confidence value that the first bounding box and the second bounding box refer to the object as the same object, wherein a distance of the object from the vehicle is used as a parameter for the fusion of the first bounding box and the second bounding box.
