In recent years, deep learning (DL), a re-branding of neural networks (NNs), has risen to the top in numerous areas, namely computer vision (CV), speech recognition, natural language processing, etc. Whereas remote sensing (RS) possesses number unique challenges, primarily related sensors and applications, inevitably RS draws from many same theories as CV; e.g., statistics, fusion, machine learning, name few. This means that community should be aware of, if not at leading edge advancements...
An accurate and robust perception system is key to understanding the driving environment of autonomous robots. Autonomous needs 3-D information about objects, including object’s location pose, understand clearly. A camera sensor widely used in because its richness color texture, low price. The major problem with lack information, which necessary environment. In addition, scale change occlusion make object detection more challenging. Many deep learning-based methods, such as depth estimation,...
Wearables are a multi-billion-dollar business with more growth expected. Wearable technology is fully entrenched at multiple levels of athletic competition, especially the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and professional where these solutions used to gain competitive advantages by assessing health performance elite athletes. However, through Science Foundation (NSF) Innovation Corps (I-Corps) training experience, different story emerged based on pilot interviews from coaches...
Collision avoidance is a critical task in many applications, such as ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems), industrial automation and robotics. In an setting, certain areas should be off limits to automated vehicle for protection of people high-valued assets. These can quarantined by mapping (e.g., GPS) or via beacons that delineate no-entry area. We propose delineation method where the utilizes LiDAR (Light Detection Ranging) single color camera detect passive model-predictive control...

The pursuit of autonomous driving relies on developing perception systems capable making accurate, robust, and rapid decisions to interpret the environment effectively. Object detection is crucial for understanding at these systems’ core. While 2D object classification have advanced significantly with advent deep learning (DL) in computer vision (CV) applications, they fall short providing essential depth information, a key element comprehending environments. Consequently, 3D becomes...
Since the state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms demand a large training dataset, which is often unavailable in some domains, transfer of knowledge from one domain to another has been trending technique computer vision field. However, this method may not be straight-forward task considering several issues such as original network size or differences between source and target domain. In paper, we perform for semantic segmentation off-road driving environments using pre-trained called...

Human activity recognition plays a crucial role in Advanced Driver-Assisted Systems (ADAS). A significant challenge achieving automotive autonomy lies the difficulty faced by self-driving cars navigating roads without operational traffic lights. In such scenarios, human intervention often involves directing vehicles through signaling with appropriate signs or gestures. This poses considerable for autonomous to interpret these gestures effectively. study focuses on leveraging dataset of...
In the context of autonomous driving, existing semantic segmentation concept strongly supports on-road driving where hard inter-class boundaries are enforced and objects can be categorized based on their visible structures with high confidence. Due to well-structured nature typical scenes, current road extraction processes largely successful most types vehicles able traverse through area that is detected as road. However, off-road domain has many additional uncertainties such uneven terrain...
Three-dimensional object detection is crucial for autonomous driving to understand the environment. Since pooling operation causes information loss in standard CNN, we designed a wavelet-multiresolution-analysis-based 3D network without operation. Additionally, instead of using single filter like convolution, used lower-frequency and higher-frequency coefficients as filter. These filters capture more relevant parts than filter, enlarging receptive field. The model comprises discrete wavelet...
