Abstract
Multi-sensor fusion object detection is an advanced method that improves object recognition and tracking accuracy by integrating data from different types of sensors. As it can overcome the limitations of a single sensor in complex environments, the method has been widely applied in fields such as autonomous driving, intelligent monitoring, robot navigation, drone flight and so on. In the field of autonomous driving, multi-sensor fusion object detection has become a hot research topic. To further explore the future development trends of multi-sensor fusion object detection, we introduce the mainstream framework Transformer model of the multi-sensor fusion object detection algorithm, and we also provide a comprehensive summary of the feature fusion algorithms used in multi-sensor fusion object detection, specifically focusing on the fusion of camera and LiDAR data. This article provides an overview of feature fusion's development into feature-level fusion and proposal-level fusion, and it specifically reviews multiple related algorithms. We discuss the application of current multi-sensor object detection algorithms. In the future, with the continuous advancement of sensor technology and the development of artificial intelligence algorithms, multi-sensor fusion object detection will show great potential in more fields.
