Abstract
A vehicle, system and method of mapping the environment is disclosed. The system includes a sensor and a processor. The sensor is configured to obtain a detection from an object in an environment surrounding the vehicle. The processor is configured to compute a plurality of radial components and a plurality of angular components for a positive inverse sensor model (ISM) of an occupancy grid, select a radial component corresponding to a range of the detection from the plurality of radial components and selecting an angular component corresponding to an angle of the detection from the plurality of angular components, multiply the selected radial component and the selected angular component to create an occupancy grid for the detection, and map the environment using the occupancy grid.
