Abstract
An advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) and method for a vehicle utilize a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system configured to emit laser light pulses and capture reflected laser light pulses collectively forming three-dimensional (3D) LIDAR point cloud data and a controller configured to receive the 3D LIDAR point cloud data, convert the 3D LIDAR point cloud data to a two-dimensional (2D) birdview projection, obtain a template image for object detection, the template image being representative of a specific object, blur the 2D birdview projection and the template image to obtain a blurred 2D birdview projection and a blurred template image, and detect the specific object by matching a portion of the blurred 2D birdview projection to the blurred template image.
