Abstract

An electronic device for a vehicle for augmenting image data of a passive optical sensor. The electronic device is configured to: receive first image data of a passive optical sensor, the first image data comprising a plurality of pixels in an image plane, receive second data of an active sensor, the passive optical sensor and the active sensor sensing the same scene outside the vehicle, the active sensor including a plurality of scan areas distributed over the scene, the second data including measurement values at returned scan areas, identify at least one cluster based on the distribution of returned scan areas, project the cluster onto the image plane, identify pixels which match with the projected cluster in the image plane, and associate the identified pixels with second data of the matching cluster. Further relates to a system and a method.
