LiDAR Lateral Localisation Despite Challenging Occlusion from Traffic
Tarlan Suleymanov, Matthew Gadd, Lars Kunze +1
This paper presents a system for improving the robustness of LiDAR lateral localisation systems. This is made possible by including detections of road boundaries which are invisibl…
Online Inference and Detection of Curbs in Partially Occluded Scenes with Sparse LIDAR
Tarlan Suleymanov, Lars Kunze, Paul Newman
Road boundaries, or curbs, provide autonomous vehicles with essential information when interpreting road scenes and generating behaviour plans. Although curbs convey important info…
Generating All the Roads to Rome: Road Layout Randomization for Improved Road Marking Segmentation
Tom Bruls, Horia Porav, Lars Kunze +1
Road markings provide guidance to traffic participants and enforce safe driving behaviour, understanding their semantic meaning is therefore paramount in (automated) driving. Howev…
The Right (Angled) Perspective: Improving the Understanding of Road Scenes Using Boosted Inverse Perspective Mapping
Tom Bruls, Horia Porav, Lars Kunze +1
Many tasks performed by autonomous vehicles such as road marking detection, object tracking, and path planning are simpler in bird's-eye view. Hence, Inverse Perspective Mapping (I…
Artificial Intelligence for Long-Term Robot Autonomy: A Survey
Lars Kunze, Nick Hawes, Tom Duckett +2
Autonomous systems will play an essential role in many applications across diverse domains including space, marine, air, field, road, and service robotics. They will assist us in o…
