Anchor-Free Object Detection with Scale-Aware Networks for Autonomous Driving

Object Detection for Autonomous Driving Using Deep Learning

Multi-scale Anchor-free Distributed Positioning in Sensor Networks

Positioning is one of the most fundamental problems in sensor networks: Given the network’s connectivity graph and some additional local information on measured distances and/or angles, the goal is to recover the nodes’ positions. Varying the assumptions regarding the nature and the quality of the measurements, there has been extensive research for both hardness results and practical, distribut...

Multi-scale Location-aware Kernel Representation for Object Detection

Although Faster R-CNN and its variants have shown promising performance in object detection, they only exploit simple first-order representation of object proposals for final classification and regression. Recent classification methods demonstrate that the integration of highorder statistics into deep convolutional neural networks can achieve impressive improvement, but their goal is to model w...

MODNet: Moving Object Detection Network with Motion and Appearance for Autonomous Driving

For autonomous driving, moving objects like vehicles and pedestrians are of critical importance as they primarily influence the maneuvering and braking of the car. Typically, they are detected by motion segmentation of dense optical flow augmented by a CNN based object detector for capturing semantics. In this paper, our aim is to jointly model motion and appearance cues in a single convolution...

Secure autonomous driving in dynamic environments: From object detection to safe driving

Secure driving in dynamic environments is an application requiring a number of premises. First of all it needs a perception system able to detect and register obstacles in the vicinity of the robot. Those obstacles are mapped and passed to a motion planner able to calculate a path considering the global objective as well as locally collision free trajectories. Finally, as the calculated path is...
