**Your Role / Thesis Topic**

**Semantic Segmentation** of point cloud data (e.g. LiDAR data) is a classic **AI problem** and as such a challenging task in itself. However, for the usage in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) it is not enough to have such a snapshot of the environment at a specific point in time. Instead it is required to constantly monitor the environment around the ego car. This can for example be done by using time sequences of semantic segmentation results to create an **Occupancy Grid Map** (OGM). In post-processing, **non-causal methods** can be used here that rely on information from past and future. This allows to close “holes” in the OGMs with information from other timestamps.

In this thesis, techniques shall be developed to create OGMs from semantic LiDAR segmentation results. Special emphasis shall be put on getting maximal benefit from the non-causal approach for this **multi-dimensional time series** data as well as on the treatment of dynamic objects (e.g. other traffic participants). In addition, the distinction between overdrivable objects (e.g. man hole covers) and non-overdrivable objects (e.g. lost cargo on the street) shall be investigated.
