Data Fusion Development for Automated Driving Functions up to Series Production

BASELABS Create Embedded is a software solution for the fast and efficient development of data fusion systems for automated driving functions in embedded systems. The tool contains fusion algorithms that combine data from radar, camera and LiDAR sensors. The resulting object fusion provides a uniform object list of the vehicle environment and serves as an input for path planning and decision algorithms. BASELABS Create Embedded makes it possible for the first time to take over the developed sensor data fusion directly for production ECUs.

Product of BASELABS GmbH. Vector distributes the software as part of its ADAS product portfolio.

BASELABS Create Embedded: Data fusion development for automated vehicles – from prototyping to series production.

Data fusion designer: With BASELABS Create Embedded, sensors are added and configured independently from other sensors to allow an incremental system design.

BASELABS Create Embedded: Development of data fusion along the entire development chain.

The data fusion combines detections and objects from all configured sensors to provide a unified object list of the vehicle’s surroundings. For each object, quantities like position, velocity and classification are determined. The data fusion eliminates individual sensor weaknesses like limited lateral or longitudinal accuracy, limited detectability or false positives.

Data fusion developed with BASELABS software for object fusion and grid fusion supports all relevant automotive sensors and object/track interfaces form various vendors.

BASELABS Create Embedded provides data fusion algorithms that combine data from radar, camera and lidar sensors. The resulting object fusion provides a unified object list of the vehicle's environment and serves as an input to path planning and decision-making algorithms.

Object fusion from BASELABS Create Embedded runs on all relevant embedded platforms. For example, a front fusion consisting of 3 radars and a camera (3R1C) safely runs on Aurix TC397 (300 MHz) based systems.

Application Areas

BASELABS Create Embedded offers the best support for the development of all autonomy levels:

SAE Level 0-3: Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Forward Collision Warning
SAE Level 3-5: Object fusion as part of a diverse redundant safety architecture, e.g. ASIL D decomposition

From Pre-Development to Series Production

BASELABS Create Embedded makes implementing data fusion systems much faster and more efficient. The resulting C source code can be used along the entire development chain - from pre-development through embedded prototyping to the ECU for series production. The powerful software enables the safety-compliant development of data fusions, including documentation and testing of safety-related use cases. This drastically reduces the development effort.

BASELABS Create Embedded offers development of data fusion along the entire development chain.

Functions

Data Fusion Designer and Generator

With the data fusion designer, radar, camera and LiDAR sensors of a vehicle setup are configured, customized and parameterized. A specific object fusion system is generated from this configuration.

Data Fusion Reference Architecture

The integrated reference architecture for object fusion allows for building data fusion applications ranging from two sensor systems to large 360° setups with many sensors. The architecture can be customized and extended.

Full Middleware Compatibility

The middleware compatibility enables execution on many platforms and in runtime environments such as AUTOSAR Classic/Adaptive as well as vADASdeveloper or ROS.

Data Fusion Library for Embedded Systems

The integrated data fusion library contains algorithms to build custom object fusion systems such as:

Numerically stable Kalman filters
Data association methods
Sensor models
Existence probability handling
Track management algorithms

The C source code of the library is fully accessible and ready for embedded platforms:

Compatible with common embedded platforms such as AURIX 2G, Renesas RH850 and ARM Cortex-R52
Low CPU load and memory consumption
Customizable and extensible
Readable code comparable to manual implementation
MISRA-C:2012 compliant
No dependencies to external libraries
