Abstract
The lidar detection device uses four two-dimensional lidars to scan an obstacle, to obtain original point-cloud data corresponding to the obstacle, and the original point-cloud data includes a relative distance, a relative angle and a relative speed of the obstacle relative to the vehicle, Next, the point-cloud data is classified into at least one point-cloud group corresponding to the obstacle, and a border length of the obstacle is obtained according to a contour of the point-cloud group. Kalman filter and extrapolation are used to estimate and track a movement path of a dynamic obstacle, and transmit the relative speed and the border length of the dynamic obstacle to an automatic driving controlling device. According to the relative distance, a coordinate of the dynamic obstacle nearest the vehicle can be obtained and transmitted to the automatic driving controlling device efficiently.
