SENSOR FUSION SYSTEM, SYNCHRONIZATION CONTROL DEVICE, AND SYNCHRONIZATION CONTROL METHOD

The present disclosure relates to a sensor fusion system, a synchronization control apparatus, and a synchronization control method that make it possible to improve a performance in fusion recognition by synchronizing a ranging apparatus and an image-capturing apparatus. A sensor fusion system is provided that includes a ranging apparatus, an image-capturing apparatus, and a synchronization controller, the ranging apparatus including a light source module, a light source controller, and a light receiver, the light source module including a light source section, the image-capturing apparatus including a pixel section, an AD converter, and an exposure controller, the synchronization controller controlling the light source controller and the exposure controller such that a timing at which the light source section emits light to a specified region is synchronized with a timing at which a group of pixels corresponding to the specified region is exposed. The present disclosure is applicable to, for example, a sensor fusion system in which LiDAR and an imager are used in synchronization with each other.
