It has been well recognized that detecting drivable area is central to self-driving cars. Most of existing methods attempt to locate road surface by using lane line, thereby restricting to drivable area on which have a clear lane mark. This paper proposes an unsupervised approach for detecting drivable area utilizing both image data from a monocular camera and point cloud data from a 3D-LIDAR scanner. Our approach locates initial drivable areas based on a direction ray map obtained by image-LIDAR data fusion. Besides, a fusion of the feature level is also applied for more robust performance. Once the initial drivable areas are described by different features, the feature fusion problem is formulated as a Markov network and a belief propagation algorithm is developed to perform the model inference. Our approach is unsupervised and avoids common hypothesis, yet gets state-of-the-art results on ROAD-KITTI benchmark. Experiments show that our unsupervised approach is efficient and robust for detecting drivable area for self-driving cars.

We are interested in understanding whether retrieval-based localization approaches are good enough in the context of self-driving vehicles. Towards this goal, we introduce Pit30M, a new image and LiDAR dataset with over 30 million frames, which is 10
to 100 times larger than those used in previous work. Pit30M is captured under diverse conditions (i.e., season, weather, time of the day, traffic), and provides accurate localization ground truth. We also automatically annotate our dataset with historical weather and astronomical data, as well as with image and LiDAR semantic segmentation as a proxy measure for occlusion. We benchmark multiple existing methods for image and LiDAR retrieval and, in the process, introduce a simple, yet effective convolutional network-based LiDAR retrieval method that is competitive with the state of the art. Our work provides, for the first time, a benchmark for sub-metre retrieval-based localization at city scale. The dataset, additional experimental results, as well as more information about the sensors, calibration, and metadata, are available on the project website: https://uber.com/atg/datasets/pit30m
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recently received a lot of attention due to their ability to model local stationary structures in natural images in a multi-scale fashion, when learning all model parameters with supervision. While excellent
performance was achieved for image classification when large amounts of labeled visual data are available, their success for un-supervised tasks such as image retrieval has been moderate so far. Our paper focuses on this latter setting and explores several methods for learning patch descriptors without supervision with application to matching and instance-level retrieval. To that effect, we propose a new family of convolutional descriptors for patch representation , based on the recently introduced convolutional kernel networks. We show that our descriptor, named Patch-CKN, performs better than SIFT as well as other convolutional networks learned by artificially introducing supervision and is significantly faster to train. To demonstrate its effectiveness, we perform an extensive evaluation on standard benchmarks for patch and image retrieval where we obtain state-of-the-art results. We also introduce a new dataset called RomePatches, which allows to simultaneously study descriptor performance for patch and image retrieval.
Image registration as an important basis in signal processing task often encounter the problem of stability and efficiency. Non-learning registration approaches rely on the optimization of the similarity metrics between the fix and moving images. Yet
, those approaches are usually costly in both time and space complexity. The problem can be worse when the size of the image is large or the deformations between the images are severe. Recently, deep learning, or precisely saying, the convolutional neural network (CNN) based image registration methods have been widely investigated in the research community and show promising effectiveness to overcome the weakness of non-learning based methods. To explore the advanced learning approaches in image registration problem for solving practical issues, we present in this paper a method of introducing attention mechanism in deformable image registration problem. The proposed approach is based on learning the deformation field with a Transformer framework (AiR) that does not rely on the CNN but can be efficiently trained on GPGPU devices also. In a more vivid interpretation: we treat the image registration problem as the same as a language translation task and introducing a Transformer to tackle the problem. Our method learns an unsupervised generated deformation map and is tested on two benchmark datasets. The source code of the AiR will be released at Gitlab.
Joint detection of drivable areas and road anomalies is very important for mobile robots. Recently, many semantic segmentation approaches based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been proposed for pixel-wise drivable area and road anomaly d
etection. In addition, some benchmark datasets, such as KITTI and Cityscapes, have been widely used. However, the existing benchmarks are mostly designed for self-driving cars. There lacks a benchmark for ground mobile robots, such as robotic wheelchairs. Therefore, in this paper, we first build a drivable area and road anomaly detection benchmark for ground mobile robots, evaluating the existing state-of-the-art single-modal and data-fusion semantic segmentation CNNs using six modalities of visual features. Furthermore, we propose a novel module, referred to as the dynamic fusion module (DFM), which can be easily deployed in existing data-fusion networks to fuse different types of visual features effectively and efficiently. The experimental results show that the transformed disparity image is the most informative visual feature and the proposed DFM-RTFNet outperforms the state-of-the-arts. Additionally, our DFM-RTFNet achieves competitive performance on the KITTI road benchmark. Our benchmark is publicly available at https://sites.google.com/view/gmrb.
Detecting distracted driving behaviours is important to reduce millions of deaths and injuries occurring worldwide. Distracted or anomalous driving behaviours are deviations from the normal driving that need to be identified correctly to alert the dr
iver. However, these driving behaviours do not comprise of one specific type of driving style and their distribution can be different during training and testing phases of a classifier. We formulate this problem as a supervised contrastive learning approach to learn a visual representation to detect normal, and seen and unseen anomalous driving behaviours. We made a change to the standard contrastive loss function to adjust the similarity of negative pairs to aid the optimization. Normally, the (self) supervised contrastive framework contains an encoder followed by a projection head, which is omitted during testing phase as the encoding layers are considered to contain general visual representative information. However, we assert that for supervised contrastive learning task, including projection head will be beneficial. We showed our results on a Driver Anomaly Detection dataset that contains 783 minutes of video recordings of normal and anomalous driving behaviours of 31 drivers from various from top and front cameras (both depth and infrared). We also performed an extra step of fine tuning the labels in this dataset. Out of 9 video modalities combinations, our modified contrastive approach improved the ROC AUC on 7 in comparison to the baseline models (from 3.12% to 8.91% for different modalities); the remaining two models also had manual labelling. We performed statistical tests that showed evidence that our modifications perform better than the baseline contrastive models. Finally, the results showed that the fusion of depth and infrared modalities from top and front view achieved the best AUC ROC of 0.9738 and AUC PR of 0.9772.
