Abstract
In one embodiment, a system for correcting parallax error is provided. An image is received from a camera and a plurality of points is received from a LiDAR sensor. The points are placed on the image based on coordinates associated with each point. The image is divided into a plurality of cells by placing a grid over the image. For each cell, a minimum distance between the points in the cell and the camera is determined. For each cell, a margin is calculated based on the determined minimum distance. For each cell, points that have a distance from the camera that is greater than the minimum distance plus the margin are removed or deleted. The image and/or the remaining points are then used to provide one or more vehicle functions.
