Abstract
Various aspects of this disclosure provide an area occupancy determining device. The device may include a memory configured to store at least one occupancy grid of a predetermined region, and a processor. The processor may be configured to generate the occupancy grid of the predetermined region. The occupancy grid includes a plurality of grid cells, each grid cell framed by respective grid cell frame lines. At least some of the grid cells have been assigned an information about the occupancy of the region represented by the respective grid cell. The processor may further be configured to dynamically update the occupancy grid, thereby successively generating a plurality of updated occupancy grids. Each updated occupancy grid is moved relative to the previous occupancy grid such that an origin coordinate of the updated occupancy grid is positioned on a contact point of grid cell frame lines of adjacent grid cells.
