Expectation

Improvement in disparity metrics due to temporal information

Some preliminary ideas

  • Use the best pre-trained stereo disparity estimator to provide the D dimension of the RGB-D input to RAFT-3D
  • Use context encoder for both images

Alternative baseline approach

(RAFT-3D by Teed et al.):

Using recurrent GRU-based operations with stereo pipeline.

Recent Studies

There are recent studies in the weakly supervised learning domain, using unlabeled or partial labeled data to for semantic segmentation tasks [1 2 3].

However, most of studies achieve semantic-segmentation by using the class activation maps (CAM), without considering the correlation between images.

Plan & Dataset

  • We hope to use the idea of co-segmentation on the weak supervised semantic segmentation task (WSSS), improve the segmentation model by leveraging the correlation between images.

  • The dataset we plan to work on is PASCAL VOC 2012:

Lane Detection ��Shree Sai Charan Nannapaneni

As part of this project, I’ll Identify the correct lane marking type and color on each side of the car

Motivation:

  • Lane detection is one of the most important tasks in Autonomous Driving and carries 20 points in SAE AutoDrive Challenge II

Challenges:

  • There are not many papers that cover lane detection.
  • Most probably will have to tune the parameters of existing model and train on my dataset.�

17 of 24

Plans and Algorithms

  • Try existing models, if not satisfied with the results, fine-tune the network weights and train it on my dataset.

  • CondLaneNet based on ResNet-101 has given good results on CULane dataset. BezierLaneNet based on Resnet-34 also gave pretty good results on LLAMAS (Labelled Lane Markers) dataset.

18 of 24

Experiments and Analysis

  • I will be using a custom dataset which contains images clicked in M-City (test site)

  • Metrics – F1 score and Speed

  • Experiment – After successfully completing lane detection, I want to add noise to an image and see how well the lanes are being detected
