Content

Control systems that steer cars autonomously on the road should have the capability of making sense of the environment. It is a remaining problem that sensors mounted on cars only function in certain conditions. Therefore, the control system should consider a variety of sensory information (images, depth, velocity, map, etc.) at the same time to give rise to a reasonable control output. In addition, human drivers constantly observe the environment while driving, taking into account the past observations with the future predictions. In this seminar, we will be looking into the methods to have an understanding of the environment with processing multivariate sensory information at the same time with temporal information.

In this seminar course, students gain knowledge in sensor fusion and temporal data processing methods, challenges in autonomous driving related tasks, and how learning is applied to problems in this domain.
