MUMBAI, India, Aug. 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202441012783 A) filed by Zebu Intelligent Systems Private Limited, Hyderabad, Telangana, on Feb. 22, 2024, for 'method for planar reconstruction with radar and camera fusion.'
Inventor(s) include Santosh Balajee Banisetty; Ketan Mahesh Patil; and Maha Zakir Khan.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 29, under issue no. 35/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Mapping for autonomous systems, like self-driving vehicles, relies on stereo vision systems for environment perception. However, stereo vision struggles with texture-less surfaces like walls or glass. Traditional solutions use lasers to project textures onto these surfaces for detection. This invention introduces a novel approach by integrating radar technology into the sensor fusion process. By combining radar data with stereo vision, the system reconstructs texture-less planes invisible to the stereo camera alone. Through map creation, clustering, planar regression modeling, and projection, detailed 3D representations are achieved. Edge detection and contour matching ensure precise spatial alignment, enhancing the system's ability to perceive and navigate environments with texture-less surfaces. This innovation improves the reliability and safety of autonomous systems."
