Sensor field of view mapping
A map of an area is generated from first sensor data of a first field of view including a blocked area and second sensor data of a second field of view having an unblocked view of the blocked area.
1. A method, comprising:
generating, in a computer, a map of an area from first sensor data of a first field of view of a first sensor including a blocked area, and second sensor data of a second field of view of a second sensor having an unblocked view of the blocked area in the first field of view, wherein the second field of view is determined based on at least one of a position of the second sensor, a position of an obstacle, and a size of the obstacle; and
providing the map to a vehicle for the vehicle to control vehicle operation based on the map.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising moving the second sensor from a first position providing the first field of view to a second position providing the second field of view.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor data and the second sensor data are respectively from a first sensor and second sensor.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first sensor is mounted to a stationary infrastructure node and the second sensor is included on a vehicle.
5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first sensor is mounted to a stationary infrastructure node and the second sensor is mounted to one of a movable platform attached to the infrastructure node or an unmanned aerial vehicle.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the blocked area includes determining a position and a size of the object.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating the map based on third sensor data for a field of view of a second blocked area.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising defining the blocked area based on lines of sight emanating from the first sensor.
9. A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory,
the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
generate a map of an area from first sensor data of a first field of view of a first sensor including a blocked area, and second sensor data of a second field of view of a second sensor having an unblocked view of the blocked area in the first field of view, wherein the second field of view is determined based on at least one of a position of the second sensor, a position of an obstacle, and a size of the obstacle; and
provide the map to a vehicle for the vehicle to control vehicle operation based on the map.
10. The system of claim 9 , the instructions further comprising instructions to move the second sensor from a first position providing the first field of view to a second position providing the second field of view.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first sensor data and the second sensor data are respectively from a first sensor and second sensor.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first sensor is mounted to a stationary infrastructure node and the second sensor is included on a vehicle.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first sensor is mounted to a stationary infrastructure node and the second sensor is mounted to one of a movable platform attached to the infrastructure node or an unmanned aerial vehicle.
14. The system of claim 9 , wherein identifying the blocked area includes determining a position and a size of the object.
15. The system of claim 9 , the instructions further comprising instructions to generate the map based on third sensor data for a field of view of a second blocked area.
16. The system of claim 9 , the instructions further comprising instructions to define the blocked area based on lines of sight emanating from the first sensor.
