Abstract
Road geometry estimation is essential for self-driving vehicles and modern advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). State-of-the-art techniques utilize a Kalman filter to perform road geometry estimation. A common assumption in these Kalman filters is that the process- and measurement noise covariances are constant over time. However both sensor performance and process dynamics may change over time in real-world applications. Sensor performance may be affected by environmental factors such as rain and lighting conditions and process dynamics may depend on the road type. Noise processes like these with a feature dependent covariance are known as heteroscedastic noise. By estimating the heteroscedastic process- and measurement noise covariances more accurately both the filter performance and state uncertainty estimation may improve.
Road geometry estimation is an especially interesting application in which to apply heteroscedastic noise estimation as there are several factors which intuitively should affect the process- and measurement noise
