Abstract
A method and apparatus for modeling the environment proximate an autonomous system. The method and apparatus accesses vision data, assigns semantic labels to points in the vision data, processes points that are identified as being a drivable surface (ground) and performs an optimization over the identified points to form a surface model. The model is subsequently used for detecting objects, planning, and mapping.
