The ultimate aim of autonomous driving problem is to design self-driving cars that safely and comfortably navigate on the roads without human intervention. Since visual data contains rich information about the environment, this type of data can be utilized for autonomous driving tasks.

In this seminar course, students will investigate different autonomous driving related tasks that involve visual data processing methods. The focus of the given topics are visual feature extraction and learning methods used in the intersection of computer vision and autonomous driving domain.
