Abstract
A vehicle, navigation system of the vehicle, and method for observing an environment of the vehicle. The navigation system includes a sensor and a processor. The sensor obtains a detection from an object located in an environment of the vehicle at a with-detection direction with respect to the sensor that includes the detection. The processor determines a no-detection direction that does not include the detection, assigns an empty space likelihood to an occupancy grid of the sensor along the no-detection direction, and generates a map of the environment using the occupancy grid.
