Press Release: BASELABS Create Embedded 8 now with Multiple-Models Support for Higher Reliability in Sensor Fusion
March 10, 2022
BASELABS, the specialist for sensor fusion, introduces a new release of its modular, ISO 26262-certified software library for the development of data fusion systems for automated driving functions: BASELABS Create Embedded 8 now supports distinct models for different types of dynamic objects in its software development kit (SDK). As a result, the measurement association and the overall performance of sensor fusion are significantly improved.

Pedestrian Protection by Multiple-Models Sensor Fusion
A challenging scenario for pedestrian protection: the pedestrian must be identified as at risk before entering the road. The prediction of pedestrian movement using different hypotheses makes an essential contribution to passing the NCAP AEB test catalog.
BASELABS Create Embedded 8 now with Multiple-Models Support for Higher Reliability in Sensor Fusion
BASELABS, the specialist for sensor fusion, introduces a new release of its modular, ISO 26262-certified software library for the development of data fusion systems for automated driving functions: BASELABS Create Embedded 8 now supports distinct models for different types of dynamic objects in its software development kit (SDK). Developers of ADAS control units thus obtain, e.g., a constant velocity model for pedestrians and a constant curvature model for vehicles. If an object is not yet assigned to a class, for example during initialization, multiple hypotheses with different models can be created. With the new multiple-models support, the reliability of predicting movements of different object classes increases. As a result, the measurement association and the overall performance of sensor fusion are significantly improved.
The BASELABS Create Embedded data fusion library provides sensor fusion algorithms for combining data from radar, camera, and lidar sensors. Developers can configure the data fusion of sensors from a wide range of manufacturers with graphical support and generate a consistent object list of the vehicle environment. This list serves as an input for downstream algorithms and ADAS functions. As a white-box solution, the library offers self-contained C code for ECUs such as Infineon AURIX or ARM Cortex, among others, and is safety-certified up to ASIL B. The user-friendly presettable height models and spaces in the SDK are further features of Release 8.0 of BASELABS Create Embedded. There is also the option to use categorical values in the association in addition to other quantities to improve their quality and better separate objects that are close to each other.
"With the new multiple-models support in BASELABS Create Embedded, sensor fusion systems with even higher reliability can be realized," said Robin Schubert, CEO of BASELABS. "By licensing the library, development teams can focus on designing differentiating features and reduce time-to-market for their applications. Maintenance efforts for in-house developed software are eliminated."
