This week I finished writing the algorithm which takes both the LIDAR input from the ROS node and the camera and displays a warning on the GUI if an object is detected within a certain range. I got the algorithm working with real LIDAR data and hard coded car position data from the camera. 
Shown above, the red bar indicates the position and range of a car detected within the camera and LIDAR’s field of view.
Next, I will work with the team to integrate our systems together for a full working system.
