Abstract Vision, Radar, and LiDAR sensors are widely used for autonomous vehicle
perception technology. Especially object detection and classification are primarily
dependent on vision sensors. However, under poor lighting conditions, dazzling sunlight, or
bad weather an object might be difficult to be identified with general vision sensors. In this
paper, we propose a sensor fusion system that combines a thermal infrared camera and a
LiDAR sensor that can reliably detect and identify objects even in environments with poor …
