Unifying Senses: A Deep Dive into Sensor Fusion
Unifying the Senses: How Sensor Fusion Enhances Perception in Robotics and AI Imagine a robot navigating a complex environment. It needs to perceive its surroundings accurately – identifying objects, understanding distances, and anticipating obstacles. But relying on a single sensor, like a camera or lidar, can be limiting. Enter sensor fusion – the powerful technique that combines data from multiple sensors to create a richer, more comprehensive understanding of the world. Why Fuse? The Power of Multiple Perspectives Each sensor has its strengths and weaknesses. Cameras excel at visual recognition but struggle with depth perception. LiDAR provides precise distance measurements but lacks detailed color information. By fusing data from these different sources, we can overcome individual limitations and achieve a...
