Camera-LiDAR Fusion
Overview
Camera–LiDAR fusion studies how to combine cameras’ rich appearance cues with LiDAR’s metric 3D geometry for tasks such as object detection, segmentation, depth completion, occupancy prediction, tracking, and localization. Common approaches project sensor data into a shared image or bird’s-eye-view space, fuse features through attention or gating, or match observations using explicit geometric constraints; sparse LiDAR also serves as a depth prompt for camera models. Methods are commonly evaluated on driving benchmarks such as nuScenes, KITTI, Waymo, and SemanticKITTI, with growing attention to adverse weather, long range, and real-time deployment. A central challenge is making fusion reliable when calibration is imperfect or one sensor is degraded, without sacrificing accuracy, efficiency, or useful modality-specific information.
