Visual mapping method, and computer program recorded on recording medium for executing method therefor

Abstract

Proposed is a visual mapping method for generating a feature map by mapping a feature point of an image captured by a camera to point cloud data acquired by a lidar. The method may include generating a first feature map based on point cloud data obtained from a lidar and an image captured from a camera, by a data generator, and generating a third feature map by mapping the first feature map on a second feature map generated through pre-stored point cloud data, by the data generator. The present method is a technology developed with support from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy/Korea Planning and Evaluation Institute of Industrial Technology (Project No. 201792/Business name-Excellent enterprise research center promotion project (ATC+)/Project name-Development of real-time risk detection and mapping solution based on 3D scanning technology to ensure safety in autonomous driving).
