Abstract
A map that can fully express environment is of great significance for intelligent robots. Traditional grid maps such as occupancy grid map can only express the simple “free or occupied”. So, it is difficult to meet the demand of tasks in a complex environment. This paper proposes a framework called Semantic Evidential Grid Map (SEGM) for generating a semantic evidential grid map based on Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence, which can combine laser scanner and stereo camera to make a map more accurate in expressing the environment without losing any details. As a result, this work allows a better handling of uncertainty information and provides more detailed semantic representations. It will be very helpful for intelligent robots or autonomous vehicles to execute tasks such as localization, perception and navigation in a complex environment. The experimental results on the KITTI CITY dataset show that the proposed method can provide a more detailed and accurate map representation than the traditional methods.
