Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for identifying a drivable area in front of a vehicle. A three-dimensional measurement sensor captures three-dimensional data corresponding to an area in front of the vehicle. Processing circuitry compares the captured three-dimensional data with a three-dimensional ground model to identify at least one obstacle and determine a drivable area in front of the vehicle based on the comparison.
