Abstract

Object detection is an important problem for autonomous vehicles, enabling safe navigation and decision making in complex environments. In this review, an overview of LiDAR and camera fusion techniques for detecting objects, exploiting the synergy between LiDAR’s geometric accuracy and cameras’ colour and texture richness, is provided. The methods of fusion are reviewed into early fusion, late fusion, and deep fusion, which are discussed with regard to their respective advantages and disadvantages. The recent deep fusion improvements made with attention mechanisms and transformer-based architectures, which have shown excellence in performance improvement along with commonly used performance measures and datasets are also discussed. This review will be helpful for researchers in understanding the fusion techniques available for autonomous vehicles.
