20 Evidence Grids, A Convenient Representation Probabilistic scene representation for noisy sensors Works for wide-beam sensors Allows extension to multilobe profiles Facilitates representation of additional hypotheses (specifically, orientation and reflectance) Representation commonly used for robotic tasks
21 Evidence-Grid Implementation Convex Obstacle Sensor Locations Evidence Grid Concave Obstacle Data merging results in noise attenuation
22 Angular Ambiguity Resolution (A) (B) Successive observations resolve angular ambiguity
23 Multilobe-Sensor Profile Schematic Representation Sensor-Profile Geometry Evidence Grid Sensor profile represents sensor geometry
