In this paper we have developed a technique for low level data fusion between laser and monocular color camera using occupancy grid framework in the context of internal representation of external environment for object detection. Based on a small variant of background subtraction technique we construct an occupancy grid for camera and fuse it with the one constructed for laser to get a combined view. The results obtained using Cycab simulator prepared by INRIA show the effectiveness of our technique.
