Perception Module
The software system responsible for interpreting sensor data in autonomous vehicles.
The perception module processes inputs from cameras, LIDAR, radar, and ultrasonic sensors to detect objects and road conditions. It transforms raw data into a structured map for decision-making algorithms. Accuracy depends on calibration, sensor fusion, and machine learning models. Failures in perception can lead to safety risks, so redundancy and continuous validation are vital. The perception stack is among the most complex components of autonomous driving software.
