Accurate detection and tracking of road users is essential for driverless cars and many other smart
mobility applications. As no single sensor can provide the required accuracy and robustness, the output
from several sensors needs to be combined. Especially radar and video are a good match, because their
weaknesses and strengths complement each other. Researchers from IPI – an imec research group at
Ghent University – developed a new technique to optimize radar-video fusion by exchanging information
at an earlier stage
