Learning objectives

The course aims to examine various perception-focused image processing algorithms for an 'intelligent' vehicle. Students will learn about problems related to image processing for vehicles and, in the laboratory, they will implement algorithms that are typically used for safety and to enable autonomous navigation of a vehicle.

Prerequisites

A basic knowledge of image processing, C ++ programming, linear algebra and numerical calculation is required.

Course unit content

This course will cover a range of image processing algorithms essential for intelligent vehicles. Students will be introduced to and implement algorithms such as lane detection, obstacle detection, classification and tracking of obstacles, and visual odometry. Additionally, the course will delve into the theory and application of the Data Fusion algorithm, and discuss various vehicle sensors and their technologies. These algorithms and technologies are integral components of 'Advanced Driver Assistance Systems' (ADAS) and serve as foundational elements for the development of fully autonomous intelligent vehicles.
