Making Dreams Come True

To detect objects and the predict the individual object behaviour are the main elements of an autonomous vehicle’s detection system. As the name implies object detection is intended to localize and classify objects in the surrounding environment of the vehicle. Behaviour prediction is used to understand the dynamics of the objects in the surrounding environment and then to predict how they will behave in the future. This behaviour prediction is critical in the autonomous vehicle’s decision making and risk assessment. The quality of the autonomous vehicle behaviour is consequently directly related to how well these two stages can be done.
