Abstract

Efficient approaches to environment modeling and obstacle detection for the navigation of Autonomous Land Vehicle(ALV) based on multisensor data fusion are presented. The fusion algorithms are based on the new generalized Dempster-Shafer's theory of evidence. Experiments on real outdoor environments have proved the presented algorithms are effective.
