Course details
Computer Vision: This unit focuses on the use of cameras and sensors to capture and interpret visual data from the environment, enabling the vehicle to perceive its surroundings and make decisions. •
Object Detection: This unit teaches students how to detect and classify objects within the vehicle's field of view, including pedestrians, cars, and road signs, using techniques such as deep learning and image processing. •
Scene Understanding: This unit explores how to interpret the visual data captured by the vehicle's sensors and cameras to understand the context of the scene, including the location, time of day, and weather conditions. •
Sensor Fusion: This unit discusses the integration of data from various sensors, including cameras, lidar, radar, and GPS, to create a comprehensive and accurate picture of the vehicle's surroundings. •
Autonomous Driving Algorithms: This unit delves into the development of algorithms that enable the vehicle to make decisions and take control, using techniques such as machine learning, control theory, and computer vision. •
Lane Detection and Tracking: This unit focuses on the development of algorithms that enable the vehicle to detect and track lane markings, including the use of computer vision and sensor data. •
Traffic Sign Recognition: This unit teaches students how to recognize and interpret traffic signs, including speed limits, traffic signals, and pedestrian crossings, using techniques such as image recognition and machine learning. •
Motion Forecasting: This unit explores how to predict the motion of other vehicles, pedestrians, and objects within the vehicle's surroundings, using techniques such as machine learning and sensor data. •
Autonomous Vehicle Control: This unit discusses the development of control systems that enable the vehicle to make decisions and take control, using techniques such as model predictive control and reinforcement learning. •
Edge Cases and Safety: This unit focuses on the development of strategies for handling edge cases and ensuring the safety of the vehicle and its occupants, including the use of redundancy, fail-safes, and human-machine interface design.
