Perception: Image Classification Challenges

This lecture focuses on perception in autonomous vehicles, covering topics such as image classification challenges, machine learning concepts, linear regression, nearest neighbor approach, hyperparameters setting, and loss functions. The instructor explains the difficulties in classifying images with changing viewpoints, illumination, deformation, and occlusion. They introduce machine learning as a method for systems to improve performance through experience. The lecture also delves into the concept of generalization and the importance of controlling model capacity. Additionally, the instructor discusses linear classifiers, distance metrics for comparing images, and the k-nearest neighbors algorithm. The lecture concludes with an overview of optimization techniques and representation learning for finding the best model parameters.

CIVIL-459: Deep learning for autonomous vehicles

Deep Learning (DL) is the subset of Machine learning reshaping the future of transportation and mobility. In this class, we will show how DL can be used to teach autonomous vehicles to detect objects,

Deep learning

Deep learning is part of a broader family of machine learning methods, which is based on artificial neural networks with representation learning. The adjective "deep" in deep learning refers to the use of multiple layers in the network. Methods used can be either supervised, semi-supervised or unsupervised.

Autonomous robot

An autonomous robot is a robot that acts without recourse to human control. The first autonomous robots environment were known as Elmer and Elsie, which were constructed in the late 1940s by W. Grey Walter. They were the first robots in history that were programmed to "think" the way biological brains do and meant to have free will. Elmer and Elsie were often labeled as tortoises because of how they were shaped and the manner in which they moved. They were capable of phototaxis which is the movement that occurs in response to light stimulus.

Vehicular automation

Vehicular automation involves the use of mechatronics, artificial intelligence, and multi-agent systems to assist the operator of a vehicle (car, aircraft, watercraft, or otherwise). These features and the vehicles employing them may be labeled as intelligent or smart. A vehicle using automation for difficult tasks, especially navigation, to ease but not entirely replace human input, may be referred to as semi-autonomous, whereas a vehicle relying solely on automation is called robotic or autonomous.

Lethal autonomous weapon

Lethal autonomous weapons (LAWs) are a type of autonomous military system that can independently search for and engage targets based on programmed constraints and descriptions. LAWs are also known as lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS), autonomous weapon systems (AWS), robotic weapons or killer robots. LAWs may operate in the air, on land, on water, underwater, or in space. The autonomy of current systems was restricted in the sense that a human gives the final command to attack—though there are exceptions with certain "defensive" systems.

Unmanned ground vehicle

An unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) is a vehicle that operates while in contact with the ground and without an onboard human presence. UGVs can be used for many applications where it may be inconvenient, dangerous, or impossible to have a human operator present. Generally, the vehicle will have a set of sensors to observe the environment, and will either autonomously make decisions about its behavior or pass the information to a human operator at a different location who will control the vehicle through teleoperation.
