Object Detection and Path Planning Algorithms for Autonomous Vehicles

Abstract—With the increasing development in Artificial Tech- nology (Ai), the area of application increases as well. One such application of AI is Computer Vision, where the computer learns through images and videos. In this paper, we will explore various path planning and object detection algorithms used in autonomous vehicles. Autonomous vehicles drive without a driver, they are equipped with RADAR, LIDAR sensors and many cameras which acquire the data from the environment. The path planning algorithm uses the data to predict the optimal path for the vehicle to move. Index Terms—Autonomous Vehicles, Object Detection, Path Planning, RADAR/LIDAR
