Method Description:
To increase the safety and reliability of
autonomous driving systems in complex traffic
environments, this paper proposes a novel 3D
multiobject tracking (MOT) method that integrates
center-plane adaptive multisensor fusion, motion
compensation, and multilevel data association.
Unlike traditional methods, our approach employs a
center-plane adaptive fusion strategy to align
LiDAR and visual data precisely, mitigating errors
in the target width caused by pose variations, and
improving tracking accuracy. To address vehicle
motion-induced association errors in dynamic
scenarios, we incorporate IMU and GPS data for
high-frequency vehicle pose estimation and
compensation, ensuring stable and robust target
association. Additionally, a rotational geometric
distance intersection-over-union (RGDIoU) cost
function is introduced, combined with multilevel
spatial indexing, to optimize the data association
efficiency and accuracy.
