Multisensor obstacle detection and tracking

This paper describes a multisensor obstacle detection and tracking system for an autonomous vehicle. The key sensors for obstacle detection are a stereo vision sensor and a laser scanner system. Output from the sensors are fed into a sensor fusion unit which then provides information to the controller.
