1	Online Monocular SLAM : Rittums Persson, Mikael January 2014 (has links) A classic Computer Vision task is the estimation of a 3D map from a collection of images. This thesis explores the online simultaneous estimation of camera poses and map points, often called Visual Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping [VSLAM]. In the near future the use of visual information by autonomous cars is likely, since driving is a vision dominated process. For example, VSLAM could be used to estimate the position of the car in relation to objects of interest, such as the road, other cars and pedestrians. Aimed at the creation of a real-time, robust, loop closing, single camera SLAM system, the properties of several state-of-the-art VSLAM systems and related techniques are studied. The system goals cover several important, if difficult, problems, which makes a solution widely applicable. This thesis makes two contributions: A rigorous qualitative analysis of VSLAM methods and a system designed accordingly. A novel tracking by matching scheme is proposed, which, unlike the trackers used by many similar systems, is able to deal better with forward camera motion. The system estimates general motion with loop closure in real time. The system is compared to a state-of-the-art monocular VSLAM algorithm and found to be similar in speed and performance.
2	Evaluation and Analysis of Perception Systems for Autonomous Driving Sharma, Devendra January 2020 (has links) For safe mobility, an autonomous vehicle must perceive the surroundings accurately. There are many perception tasks associated with understanding the local environment such as object detection, localization, and lane analysis. Object detection, in particular, plays a vital role in determining an object’s location and classifying it correctly and is one of the challenging tasks in the self-driving research area. Before employing an object detection module in autonomous vehicle testing, an organization needs to have a precise analysis of the module. Hence, it becomes crucial for a company to have an evaluation framework to evaluate an object detection algorithm’s performance. This thesis develops a comprehensive framework for evaluating and analyzing object detection algorithms, both 2D (camera images based) and 3D (LiDAR point cloud-based). The pipeline developed in this thesis provides the ability to evaluate multiple models with ease, signified by the key performance metrics, Average Precision, F-score, and Mean Average Precision. 40-point interpolation method is used to calculate the Average Precision. / För säker rörlighet måste ett autonomt fordon uppfatta omgivningen exakt. Det finns många uppfattningsuppgifter associerade med att förstå den lokala miljön, såsom objektdetektering, lokalisering och filanalys. I synnerhet objektdetektering spelar en viktig roll för att bestämma ett objekts plats och klassificera det korrekt och är en av de utmanande uppgifterna inom det självdrivande forskningsområdet. Innan en anställd detekteringsmodul används i autonoma fordonsprovningar måste en organisation ha en exakt analys av modulen. Därför blir det avgörande för ett företag att ha en utvärderingsram för att utvärdera en objektdetekteringsalgoritms prestanda. Denna avhandling utvecklar ett omfattande ramverk för utvärdering och analys av objektdetekteringsalgoritmer, både 2 D (kamerabilder baserade) och 3 D (LiDAR-punktmolnbaserade). Rörledningen som utvecklats i denna avhandling ger möjlighet att enkelt utvärdera flera modeller, betecknad med nyckelprestandamätvärdena, Genomsnittlig precision, F-poäng och genomsnittlig genomsnittlig precision. 40-punkts interpoleringsmetod används för att beräkna medelprecisionen.

5	Evaluation of the CNN Based Architectures on the Problem of Wide Baseline Stereo Matching / Utvärdering av system för stereomatchning som är baserade på neurala nätverk med faltning Li, Vladimir January 2016 (has links) Three-dimensional information is often used in robotics and 3D-mapping. There exist several ways to obtain a three-dimensional map. However, the time of flight used in the laser scanners or the structured light utilized by Kinect-like sensors sometimes are not sufficient. In this thesis, we investigate two CNN based stereo matching methods for obtaining 3D-information from a grayscaled pair of rectified images.While the state-of-the-art stereo matching method utilize a Siamese architecture, in this project a two-channel and a two stream network are trained in an attempt to outperform the state-of-the-art. A set of experiments were performed to achieve optimal hyperparameters. By changing one parameter at the time, the networks with architectures mentioned above are trained. After a completed training the networks are evaluated with two criteria, the error rate, and the runtime.Due to time limitations, we were not able to find optimal learning parameters. However, by using settings from [17] we train a two-channel network that performed almost on the same level as the state-of-the-art. The error rate on the test data for our best architecture is 2.64% while the error rate for the state-of-the-art Siamese network is 2.62%. We were not able to achieve better performance than the state-of-the-art, but we believe that it is possible to reduce the error rate further. On the other hand, the state-of-the-art Siamese stereo matching network is more efficient and faster during the disparity estimation. Therefore, if the time efficiency is prioritized, the Siamese based network should be considered.

6	Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Real-Time Single Frame Monocular Depth Estimation Schennings, Jacob January 2017 (has links) Vision based active safety systems have become more frequently occurring in modern vehicles to estimate depth of the objects ahead and for autonomous driving (AD) and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). In this thesis a lightweight deep convolutional neural network performing real-time depth estimation on single monocular images is implemented and evaluated. Many of the vision based automatic brake systems in modern vehicles only detect pre-trained object types such as pedestrians and vehicles. These systems fail to detect general objects such as road debris and roadside obstacles. In stereo vision systems the problem is resolved by calculating a disparity image from the stereo image pair to extract depth information. The distance to an object can also be determined using radar and LiDAR systems. By using this depth information the system performs necessary actions to avoid collisions with objects that are determined to be too close. However, these systems are also more expensive than a regular mono camera system and are therefore not very common in the average consumer car. By implementing robust depth estimation in mono vision systems the benefits from active safety systems could be utilized by a larger segment of the vehicle fleet. This could drastically reduce human error related traffic accidents and possibly save many lives. The network architecture evaluated in this thesis is more lightweight than other CNN architectures previously used for monocular depth estimation. The proposed architecture is therefore preferable to use on computationally lightweight systems. The network solves a supervised regression problem during the training procedure in order to produce a pixel-wise depth estimation map. The network was trained using a sparse ground truth image with spatially incoherent and discontinuous data and output a dense spatially coherent and continuous depth map prediction. The spatially incoherent ground truth posed a problem of discontinuity that was addressed by a masked loss function with regularization. The network was able to predict a dense depth estimation on the KITTI dataset with close to state-of-the-art performance. deep learning machine learning mono vision system lightweight CNN convolutional neural network depth estimation lidar kitti vehicle camera mono camera camera real-time real time ad autonomous driving adas advanced driver assistance systems mono depth computer vision regression pixel-wise pixel wise object detection general object detection pedestrian detection vehicle detection supervised learning supervised tensorflow python keras opencv autoliv
