Baselabs software improves movement predictability for ADAS, AD
Sensor fusion software expert Baselabs GmbH (Chemnitz, Germany) has introduced a new release of its modular, ISO 26262-certified software library for the development of data fusion systems for automated driving functions: Baselabs Create Embedded 8 now supports distinct models for different types of dynamic objects in its software development kit (SDK).
With the new release, developers of ADAS units obtain, amongst others, a constant velocity model for pedestrians and a constant curvature model for vehicles. If an object is not yet assigned to a class, for example during initialization, multiple hypotheses with different models can be created. With the new multiple-models support, the reliability of predicting movements of different object classes increases. As a result, the measurement association and the overall performance of sensor fusion are significantly improved.
The data fusion library provides sensor fusion algorithms for combining data from radar, camera, and lidar sensors. Users can configure the data fusion of sensors from a wide range of manufacturers with graphical support and generate a consistent object list of the vehicle environment. This list serves as an input for downstream algorithms and ADAS functions. As a white-box solution, the library offers self-contained C code for ECUs such as Infineon Aurix or ARM Cortex, among others, and is safety-certified up to ASIL B. The user-friendly presettable height models and spaces in the SDK are further features of Release 8.0 of Baselabs Create Embedded. There is also the option to use categorical values in the association in addition to other quantities to improve their quality and better separate objects that are close to each other.
“With the new multiple-models support in Baselabs Create Embedded, sensor fusion systems with even higher reliability can be realized ,” said Robin Schubert, CEO of Baselabs. “By licensing the library, development teams can focus on designing differentiating features and reduce time-to-market for their applications. Maintenance efforts for in-house developed software are eliminated.”
