Pedestrian Detection and Pose Estimation for Autonomous Driving

Abstract

Autonomous driving systems are right on the corner and one key concern around development and social acceptance of such systems is safe-guarding. In this project, we want to look at the task of Pedestrian detection from LiDAR? point clouds and their pose estimation from the RGB camera input. 3D object detection from sparse point cloud data and multiple pedestrian 3D pose estimation are two challenging tasks and therefore active research fields in both academia and industry. In this project, we want to integrate the state of the art deep learning methods, train models on synthetic renderings and improve their performance based on safe-guarding KPIs designed.

Requirements

An overall understanding of such concepts is needed:

  • 3D computer vision
  • Object detection
  • Human pose estimation
  • Point clouds processing

Hands-on experience on:

  • Deep Learning
  • PyTorch
  • Dockers
  • Git
