Instead of detecting other vehicles, some systems are designed to detect pedestrians and other vulnerable road users. Images from a forward-looking camera are analysed to identify shapes and characteristics typical of humans. The way in which they are moving relative to the path of the vehicle is calculated to determine whether or not they are in danger of being struck. If so, the AEB system applies full braking to bring the car to a halt and, at the same time, it may issue a warning to the driver. Predicting human behaviour is difficult and the algorithms used in pedestrian detection systems are very sophisticated. The system must be able to react properly to a valid threat but must not apply the brakes where there is no danger e.g. where a pedestrian is walking to the edge of the pavement but then stops to allow the car to pass. These systems invariably employ a camera combined with a radar– something called sensor fusion. New technologies are appearing on the market that use infra-red and can also operate in very low light conditions.Typical city accidents occur at junctions and roundabouts. A driver is waiting behind other cars approaching a roundabout. He is concentrating on the traffic on the roundabout and sees a gap. He expects the car in front to move forward and accelerates, only to find that the driver in front has not moved. The impact that follows is typical of city driving: low speed, but with a high risk of a debilitating whiplash injury to the driver of the struck vehicle. While injury severities are usually low, these accidents are very frequent and represent 26% of all crashes.Low-speed AEB systems use sensors to monitor the road ahead, typically 6-8m. One common technology is a LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor, typically mounted at the top of the windscreen, which determines whether or not there is an object in front of the car which presents a risk. If there is, the AEB system will, typically, pre-charge the brakes so that the car will provide its most efficient braking response, should the driver react. If the driver does not respond, the car will automatically apply the brakes to avoid, or in some cases to mitigate, the accident. If, at any point, the driver intervenes to avoid the accident, by hard braking or avoidance steering, the system will disengage.For its fitment survey, Euro NCAP defines city systems as those which can avoid an impact by autonomous braking at speeds up to 20km/h where 80% of all whiplash injuries occur. These systems look for the reflectivity of a typical vehicle and so are not sensitive to pedestrians or roadside furniture. Since these systems are within the sweep of the wipers they can also operate in poor weather conditions.Similar accident scenarios occur on the open road. A driver on a motorway or a dual carriageway might be distracted and fail to recognise that the traffic in front of him is coming to a stop. By the time he notices the danger, it is too late for him to apply the brakes and avoid the impact or he may misjudge the braking of the car infront and fail to apply sufficient braking force.To work at higher speeds, Inter-Urban AEB systems use long-range radars to ‘look’ further ahead of the vehicle (typically 200m).. The radar data is analysed to determine whether or not the vehicle could potentially collide with any obstacles it sees. If so, the AEB system might typically operate as follows: a warning signal is given to the driver to try to alert him to the danger. If the driver does not respond, a second warning may be given (for example a brake jerk or seatbelt tug) and the brakes will be pre-armed for maximum braking. Again, if there is no reaction from the driver, the system will itself apply heavy braking. Some systems also prepare the restraint systems for optimum performance in the impact, for example by pre-tensioning the seatbelts.Systems fall into this category if they do more than simply warn the driver and operate over the speed range 50-80km/h. Some systems designed to operate primarily at Inter-Urban speeds may also provide benefit in city driving. For example, they may not be able to avoid accidents at low speeds but will be able to warn the driver and provide some mitigation effect. These systems are designed to see other road traffic including, in some cases, motorcycles and trucks. A potential advantage of radar sensors is their ability to function in all weathers and lighting conditions.。

However, before this evolution in transport becomes a revolution, it must be fully understood how self-driving cars work. Put simply, self-driving cars must "see" and "behave" appropriately to be safe on the road. They do this through various hardware and deep-learning AI. Cameras as well as sensors like radar and lidar capture a variety of data from the external environment. Once the data is sent to the AI system, the "brain" of the car, it is analysed and put together like a puzzle so that the self-driving car can "see" its surroundings and determine its position. Meanwhile, the Al system identifies patterns from the data and learns from them. An action plan is then created to instruct the car how to "behave" in real time: stay in the lane, move into another one, speed up or slow down. Next, the necessary mechanical controls, such as the accelerator and brakes, are activated by the AI system, allowing the car to move in line with the action plan.然而,在这种交通方式的变革成为一场革命之前,必须充分了解自动驾驶汽车的工作原理。
无人驾驶英语作文1Unmanned driving is a revolutionary technology that is transforming the way we think about transportation. The principle and working mode of unmanned driving are based on a complex combination of advanced sensors, powerful computer algorithms, and precise control systems.Sensors such as lidar, radar, and cameras are installed on the vehicle to collect information about the surrounding environment. These sensors can detect objects, distances, speeds, and other relevant data. The collected data is then sent to a powerful computer system that runs complex algorithms. These algorithms analyze the data in real-time to understand the situation on the road.For example, when the sensors detect a pedestrian crossing the road, the algorithms calculate the distance and speed of the pedestrian and the vehicle. Based on this analysis, the system makes a decision to slow down or stop the vehicle to avoid a potential collision.The computer algorithms also control the vehicle's steering, acceleration, and braking. They take into account various factors like traffic rules, road conditions, and the behavior of other vehicles to ensure a safe and smooth journey.In conclusion, unmanned driving technology holds great promise forimproving road safety and transportation efficiency. However, there are still many challenges to overcome, such as ensuring the reliability and security of the systems and addressing legal and ethical issues. But with continuous research and development, unmanned driving is likely to become an integral part of our future transportation landscape.2The development of driverless technology has been a remarkable journey. In the early days, it was just a concept in the minds of visionary scientists and engineers. They spent countless hours in laboratories, conducting experiments and making theoretical breakthroughs.As time went by, this technology gradually moved from the realm of theory to practical applications. Some cities began to launch pilot projects to test the feasibility and effectiveness of driverless vehicles on public roads. These pilot projects have achieved certain results. For example, they have shown that driverless cars can significantly improve traffic efficiency and reduce the occurrence of accidents caused by human errors.The current state of driverless technology is both promising and challenging. On one hand, advancements in sensors, artificial intelligence, and communication systems have made driverless vehicles more intelligent and reliable. They can better adapt to complex road conditions and interact with other road users. On the other hand, there are still issues such as legal regulations, ethical considerations, and public acceptance that need to beaddressed.In conclusion, the development of driverless technology is an ongoing process. While it holds great potential to transform the way we travel and commute, it also requires continuous efforts and cooperation from various sectors to ensure its safe and widespread adoption.3Unmanned Driving: A Double-Edged SwordIn recent years, the development of unmanned driving technology has been making remarkable progress. It is a revolutionary innovation that brings both benefits and challenges to our society.The advantages of unmanned driving are quite obvious. Firstly, it can significantly enhance traffic safety. Human errors, such as distraction, fatigue, or drunk driving, are major causes of accidents. Unmanned driving systems, however, are not prone to these mistakes and can make more accurate and timely decisions, thereby reducing the number of traffic accidents and saving countless lives. Secondly, unmanned driving can improve traffic efficiency. The precise control and optimization of routes by intelligent systems can alleviate traffic congestion and make our commutes more smooth and time-efficient.Nevertheless, unmanned driving also has its drawbacks. One of the significant concerns is the potential unemployment it may cause. Many people whose occupations are related to driving, such as taxi drivers andtruck drivers, might lose their jobs as this technology becomes more prevalent. This could lead to economic and social instability for a certain group of people. Additionally, there are technical and ethical issues that need to be addressed. For instance, how to ensure the reliability and security of unmanned driving systems in complex and unexpected situations is a challenging problem.In conclusion, unmanned driving is a double-edged sword. While it holds great promise for improving our lives, we must also carefully consider and address the negative impacts it may bring. Only through comprehensive and thoughtful planning can we fully realize the benefits of this technology and minimize its disadvantages.4With the rapid development of technology, driverless cars have emerged as a revolutionary concept that is set to transform our future transportation and society in profound ways. The impact of this innovation extends far beyond what we can currently imagine.Driverless technology is likely to revolutionize the way we travel. It will offer a higher level of convenience and safety. People no longer need to focus on driving, allowing them to utilize their travel time for work, relaxation or communication. This could significantly enhance the quality of our daily commutes.The advent of driverless cars will also have a considerable influenceon urban planning. Traditional parking spaces could be reduced, as these vehicles can drop off passengers and then park themselves in more efficient locations. This would free up valuable urban land for other purposes such as parks or additional housing.However, this technology also brings about certain challenges. For instance, it raises concerns regarding job losses for professional drivers. There are also issues related to legal and ethical responsibilities in case of accidents.In conclusion, while driverless technology holds great promise for a more efficient and convenient future, it is essential that we address the associated challenges proactively to ensure a smooth transition and a balanced development for our society.5Unmanned driving technology is revolutionizing various fields and holds immense potential for the future. In the realm of logistics and transportation, it promises increased efficiency and reduced costs. Autonomous trucks could operate around the clock, minimizing human errors and optimizing delivery routes. This would lead to faster and more reliable transportation of goods, benefiting both businesses and consumers.However, in public transportation, unmanned driving presents both opportunities and challenges. On one hand, self-driving buses and trains could provide more punctual and consistent services, especially in denselypopulated cities. They could also be programmed to adapt to different passenger demands and traffic conditions, enhancing the overall commuting experience.On the other hand, there are significant hurdles to overcome. Technical glitches and cybersecurity risks pose threats to the safety and reliability of unmanned systems. Moreover, legal and ethical questions arise, such as who is responsible in the event of an accident involving an autonomous vehicle.Despite these challenges, the continuous advancement in technology and research gives hope that unmanned driving will eventually transform our transportation landscape, making it more intelligent, efficient, and sustainable. But for now, a cautious and well-regulated approach is essential to ensure its successful integration into our daily lives.。
from Solving Pedestrian Detection?Mohamed Omran,Jan Hosang,and Bernt SchielePlanck Institute for Informatics Saarbrücken,Germanystname@mpi-inf.mpg.deAbstractEncouraged by the recent progress in pedestrian detec-tion,we investigate the gap between current state-of-the-art methods and the “perfect single frame detector”.We en-able our analysis by creating a human baseline for pedes-trian detection (over the Caltech dataset),and by manually clustering the recurrent errors of a top detector.Our res-ults characterize both localization and background-versus-foreground errors.To address localization errors we study the impact of training annotation noise on the detector performance,and show that we can improve even with a small portion of sanitized training data.To address background/foreground discrimination,we study convnets for pedestrian detection,and discuss which factors affect their performance.Other than our in-depth analysis,we report top perform-ance on the Caltech dataset,and provide a new sanitized set of training and test annotations 1.1.IntroductionObject detection has received great attention during re-cent years.Pedestrian detection is a canonical sub-problem that remains a popular topic of research due to its diverse applications.Despite the extensive research on pedestrian detection,recent papers still show significant improvements,suggest-ing that a saturation point has not yet been reached.In this paper we analyse the gap between the state of the art and a newly created human baseline (section 3.1).The results indicate that there is still a ten fold improvement to be made before reaching human performance.We aim to investigate which factors will help close this gap.We analyse failure cases of top performing pedestrian detectors and diagnose what should be changed to further push performance.We show several different analysis,in-cluding human inspection,automated analysis of problem1Ifyou are interested in our new annotations,please contact Shanshan Zhang.1010101010Figure 1:Overview of the top results on the Caltech-USA pedestrian benchmark (CVPR2015snapshot).At ∼95%recall,state-of-the-art detectors make ten times more errors than the human baseline.cases (e.g.blur,contrast),and oracle experiments (section 3.2).Our results indicate that localization is an important source of high confidence false positives.We address this aspect by improving the training set alignment quality,both by manually sanitising the Caltech training annotations and via algorithmic means for the remaining training samples (sections 3.3and 4.1).To address background versus foreground discrimina-tion,we study convnets for pedestrian detection,and dis-cuss which factors affect their performance (section 4.2).1.1.Related workIn the last years,diverse efforts have been made to im-prove the performance of pedestrian detection.Following the success of integral channel feature detector (ICF)[6,5],many variants [22,23,16,18]were proposed and showed significant improvement.A recent review of pedestrian de-tection [3]concludes that improved features have been driv-ing performance and are likely to continue doing so.It also shows that optical flow [19]and context information [17]are complementary to image features and can further boost 1a r X i v :1602.01237v 1 [c s .C V ] 3 F eb 2016detection accuracy.Byfine-tuning a model pre-trained on external data convolution neural networks(convnets)have also reached state-of-the-art performance[15,20].Most of the recent papers focus on introducing novelty and better results,but neglect the analysis of the resulting system.Some analysis work can be found for general ob-ject detection[1,14];in contrast,in thefield of pedestrian detection,this kind of analysis is rarely done.In2008,[21] provided a failure analysis on the INRIA dataset,which is relatively small.The best method considered in the2012 Caltech dataset survey[7]had10×more false positives at20%recall than the methods considered here,and no method had reached the95%mark.Since pedestrian detection has improved significantly in recent years,a deeper and more comprehensive analysis based on state-of-the-art detectors is valuable to provide better understanding as to where future efforts would best be invested.1.2.ContributionsOur key contributions are as follows:(a)We provide a detailed analysis of a state-of-the-art ped-estrian detection system,providing insights into failure cases.(b)We provide a human baseline for the Caltech Pedestrian Benchmark;as well as a sanitised version of the annotations to serve as new,high quality ground truth for the training and test sets of the benchmark.The data will be public. (c)We analyse how much the quality of training data affects the detector.More specifically we quantify how much bet-ter alignment and fewer annotation mistakes can improve performance.(d)Using the insights of the analysis,we explore variants of top performing methods:filtered channel feature detector [23]and R-CNN detector[13,15],and show improvements over the baselines.2.PreliminariesBefore delving into our analysis,let us describe the data-sets in use,their metrics,and our baseline detector.2.1.Caltech-USA pedestrian detection benchmarkAmongst existing pedestrian datasets[4,9,8],KITTI [11]and Caltech-USA are currently the most popular ones. In this work we focus on the Caltech-USA benchmark[7] which consists of2.5hours of30Hz video recorded from a vehicle traversing the streets of Los Angeles,USA.The video annotations amount to a total of350000bound-ing boxes covering∼2300unique pedestrians.Detec-tion methods are evaluated on a test set consisting of4024 frames.The provided evaluation toolbox generates plotsFilter type MR O−2ACF[5]44.2SCF[3]34.8LDCF[16]24.8RotatedFilters19.2Checkerboards18.5Table1:Thefiltertype determines theICF methods quality.Base detector MR O−2+Context+FlowOrig.2Ped[17]48~5pp/Orig.SDt[19]45/8ppSCF[3]355pp4ppCheckerboards19~01ppTable2:Detection quality gain ofadding context[17]and opticalflow[19],as function of the base detector.for different subsets of the test set based on annotation size, occlusion level and aspect ratio.The established proced-ure for training is to use every30th video frame which res-ults in a total of4250frames with∼1600pedestrian cut-outs.More recently,methods which can leverage more data for training have resorted to afiner sampling of the videos [16,23],yielding up to10×as much data for training than the standard“1×”setting.MR O,MR N In the standard Caltech evaluation[7]the miss rate(MR)is averaged over the low precision range of [10−2,100]FPPI.This metric does not reflect well improve-ments in localization errors(lowest FPPI range).Aiming for a more complete evaluation,we extend the evaluation FPPI range from traditional[10−2,100]to[10−4,100],we denote these MR O−2and MR O−4.O stands for“original an-notations”.In section3.3we introduce new annotations, and mark evaluations done there as MR N−2and MR N−4.We expect the MR−4metric to become more important as de-tectors get stronger.2.2.Filtered channel features detectorFor the analysis in this paper we consider all methods published on the Caltech Pedestrian benchmark,up to the last major conference(CVPR2015).As shown infigure1, the best method at the time is Checkerboards,and most of the top performing methods are of its same family.The Checkerboards detector[23]is a generalization of the Integral Channels Feature detector(ICF)[6],which filters the HOG+LUV feature channels before feeding them into a boosted decision forest.We compare the performance of several detectors from the ICF family in table1,where we can see a big improve-ment from44.2%to18.5%MR O−2by introducingfilters over the feature channels and optimizing thefilter bank.Current top performing convnets methods[15,20]are sensitive to the underlying detection proposals,thus wefirst focus on the proposals by optimizing thefiltered channel feature detectors(more on convnets in section4.2). Rotatedfilters For the experiments involving train-ing new models(in section 4.1)we use our own re-implementation of Checkerboards[23],based on the LDCF[16]codebase.To improve the training time we decrease the number offilters from61in the originalCheckerboards down to9filters.Our so-called Rota-tedFilters are a simplified version of LDCF,applied at three different scales(in the same spirit as Squares-ChnFtrs(SCF)[3]).More details on thefilters are given in the supplementary material.As shown in table1,Ro-tatedFilters are significantly better than the original LDCF,and only1pp(percent point)worse than Checker-boards,yet run6×faster at train and test time. Additional cues The review[3]showed that context and opticalflow information can help improve detections. However,as the detector quality improves(table1)the re-turns obtained from these additional cues erodes(table2). Without re-engineering such cues,gains in detection must come from the core detector.3.Analysing the state of the artIn this section we estimate a lower bound on the re-maining progress available,analyse the mistakes of current pedestrian detectors,and propose new annotations to better measure future progress.3.1.Are we reaching saturation?Progress on pedestrian detection has been showing no sign of slowing in recent years[23,20,3],despite recent im-pressive gains in performance.How much progress can still be expected on current benchmarks?To answer this ques-tion,we propose to use a human baseline as lower bound. We asked domain experts to manually“detect”pedestrians in the Caltech-USA test set;machine detection algorithms should be able to at least reach human performance and, eventually,superhuman performance.Human baseline protocol To ensure a fair comparison with existing detectors,we focus on the single frame mon-ocular detection setting.Frames are presented to annotators in random order,and without access to surrounding frames from the source videos.Annotators have to rely on pedes-trian appearance and single-frame context rather than(long-term)motion cues.The Caltech benchmark normalizes the aspect ratio of all detection boxes[7].Thus our human annotations are done by drawing a line from the top of the head to the point between both feet.A bounding box is then automatically generated such that its centre coincides with the centre point of the manually-drawn axis,see illustration infigure2.This procedure ensures the box is well centred on the subject (which is hard to achieve when marking a bounding box).To check for consistency among the two annotators,we produced duplicate annotations for a subset of the test im-ages(∼10%),and evaluated these separately.With a Intersection over Union(IoU)≥0.5matching criterion, the results were identical up to a single boundingbox.Figure2:Illustration of bounding box generation for human baseline.The annotator only needs to draw a line from the top of the head to the central point between both feet,a tight bounding box is then automatically generated. Conclusion Infigure3,we compare our human baseline with other top performing methods on different subsets of the test data(varying height ranges and occlu-sion levels).Wefind that the human baseline widely out-performs state-of-the-art detectors in all settings2,indicat-ing that there is still room for improvement for automatic methods.3.2.Failure analysisSince there is room to grow for existing detectors,one might want to know:when do they fail?In this section we analyse detection mistakes of Checkerboards,which obtains top performance on most subsets of the test set(see figure3).Since most top methods offigure1are of the ICF family,we expect a similar behaviour for them too.Meth-ods using convnets with proposals based on ICF detectors will also be affected.3.2.1Error sourcesThere are two types of errors a detector can do:false pos-itives(detections on background or poorly localized detec-tions)and false negatives(low-scoring or missing pedes-trian detections).In this analysis,we look into false positive and false negative detections at0.1false positives per im-age(FPPI,1false positive every10images),and manually cluster them(one to one mapping)into visually distinctive groups.A total of402false positive and148false negative detections(missing recall)are categorized by error type. False positives After inspection,we end up having all false positives clustered in eleven categories,shown infig-ure4a.These categories fall into three groups:localization, background,and annotation errors.Background errors are the most common ones,mainly ver-tical structures(e.g.figure5b),tree leaves,and traffic lights. This indicates that the detectors need to be extended with a better vertical context,providing visibility over larger struc-tures and a rough height estimate.Localization errors are dominated by double detections2Except for IoU≥0.8.This is due to issues with the ground truth, discussed in section3.3.Reasonable (IoU >= 0.5)Height > 80Height in [50,80]Height in

Checkerboards [23]and RotatedFilters detectors,as well as the next top three (unspecified)methods (different for each setting).The corresponding curves are provided in the supplementary material.(high scoring detections covering the same pedestrian,e.g.figure 5a ).This indicates that improved detectors need to have more localized responses (peakier score maps)and/or a different non-maxima suppression strategy.In sections 3.3and 4.1we explore how to improve the detector localiz-ation.The annotation errors are mainly missing ignore regions,and a few missing person annotations.In section 3.3we revisit the Caltech annotations.False negatives Our clustering results in figure 4b show the well known difficulty of detecting small and oc-cluded objects.We hypothesise that low scoring side-view persons and cyclists may be due to a dataset bias,i.e.these cases are under-represented in the training set (most per-sons are non-cyclist walking on the side-walk,parallel to the car).Augmenting the training set with external images for these cases might be an effective strategy.To understand better the issue with small pedestrians,we measure size,blur,and contrast for each (true or false)de-tection.We observed that small persons are commonly sat-urated (over or under exposed)and blurry,and thus hypo-thesised that this might be an underlying factor for weak detection (other than simply having fewer pixels to make the decision).Our results indicate however that this is not the case.As figure 4c illustrates,there seems to be no cor-relation between low detection score and low contrast.This also holds for the blur case,detailed plots are in the sup-plementary material.We conclude that the small number of pixels is the true source of difficulty.Improving small objects detection thus need to rely on making proper use of all pixels available,both inside the window and in the surrounding context,as well as across time.Conclusion Our analysis shows that false positive er-rors have well defined sources that can be specifically tar-geted with the strategies suggested above.A fraction of the false negatives are also addressable,albeit the small and oc-cluded pedestrians remain a (hard and)significant problem.20406080100120# e r r o r s 0100200300loc a liz a tion ba c k g round a nnota e rrors#e r r o r s (a)False positive sources15304560# e r r o r s

box).Additional ones in supplementary material.3.2.2Oracle test casesThe analysis of section 3.2.1focused on errors counts.For area-under-the-curve metrics,such astheones used in Caltech,high-scoring errors matter more than low-scoring ones.In this section we directly measure the impact of loc-alization and background-vs-foreground errors on the de-tection quality metric (log-average miss-rate)by using or-acle test cases.In the oracle case for localization,all false positives that overlap with ground truth are ignored for evaluation.In the oracle tests for background-vs-foreground,all false posit-ives that do not overlap with ground truth are ignored.Figure 6a shows that fixing localization mistakes im-proves performance in the low FPPI region;while fixing background mistakes improves results in the high FPPI re-gion.Fixing both types of mistakes results zero errors,even though this is not immediately visible due to the double log plot.In figure 6b we show the gains to be obtained in MR O −4terms by fixing localization or background issues.When comparing the eight top performing methods we find that most methods would boost performance significantly by fix-ing either problem.Note that due to the log-log nature of the numbers,the sum of localization and background deltas do not add up to the total miss-rate.Conclusion For most top performing methods localiz-ation and background-vs-foreground errors have equal im-pact on the detection quality.They are equally important.3.3.Improved Caltech-USA annotationsWhen evaluating our human baseline (and other meth-ods)with a strict IoU ≥0.8we notice in figure 3that the performance drops.The original annotation protocol is based on interpolating sparse annotations across multiple frames [7],and these sparse annotations are not necessar-ily located on the evaluated frames.After close inspection we notice that this interpolation generates a systematic off-set in the annotations.Humans walk with a natural up and down oscillation that is not modelled by the linear interpol-ation used,thus in most frames have shifted bounding box annotations.This effect is not noticeable when using the forgiving IoU ≥0.5,however such noise in the annotations is a hurdle when aiming to improve object localization.1010−210−110010false positives per image18.47(33.20)% Checkerboards15.94(25.49)% Checkerboards

(b)Poor alignmentFigure 7:Examples of errors in original annotations.New annotations in green,original ones in red.This localization issues together with the annotation er-rors detected in section 3.2.1motivated us to create a new set of improved annotations for the Caltech pedestrians dataset.Our aim is two fold;on one side we want to provide a more accurate evaluation of the state of the art,in particu-lar an evaluation suitable to close the “last 20%”of the prob-lem.On the other side,we want to have training annotations and evaluate how much improved annotations lead to better detections.We evaluate this second aspect in section 4.1.New annotation protocol Our human baseline focused on a fair comparison with single frame methods.Our new annotations are done both on the test and training 1×set,and focus on high quality.The annotators are allowed to look at the full video to decide if a person is present or not,they are request to mark ignore regions in areas cov-ering crowds,human shapes that are not persons (posters,statues,etc.),and in areas that could not be decided as cer-tainly not containing a person.Each person annotation is done by drawing a line from the top of the head to the point between both feet,the same as human baseline.The annot-ators must hallucinate head and feet if these are not visible. When the person is not fully visible,they must also annotate a rectangle around the largest visible region.This allows to estimate the occlusion level in a similar fashion as the ori-ginal Caltech annotations.The new annotations do share some bounding boxes with the human baseline(when no correction was needed),thus the human baseline cannot be used to do analysis across different IoU thresholds over the new test set.In summary,our new annotations differ from the human baseline in the following aspects:both training and test sets are annotated,ignore regions and occlusions are also an-notated,full video data is used for decision,and multiple revisions of the same image are allowed.After creating a full independent set of annotations,we con-solidated the new annotations by cross-validating with the old annotations.Any correct old annotation not accounted for in the new set,was added too.Our new annotations correct several types of errors in the existing annotations,such as misalignments(figure 7b),missing annotations(false negatives),false annotations (false positives,figure7a),and the inconsistent use of“ig-nore”regions.Our new annotations will be publicly avail-able.Additional examples of“original versus new annota-tions”provided in the supplementary material,as well as visualization software to inspect them frame by frame. Better alignment In table3we show quantitative evid-ence that our new annotations are at least more precisely localized than the original ones.We summarize the align-ment quality of a detector via the median IoU between true positive detections and a give set of annotations.When evaluating with the original annotations(“median IoU O”column in table3),only the model trained with original annotations has good localization.However,when evalu-ating with the new annotations(“median IoU N”column) both the model trained on INRIA data,and on the new an-notations reach high localization accuracy.This indicates that our new annotations are indeed better aligned,just as INRIA annotations are better aligned than Caltech.Detailed IoU curves for multiple detectors are provided in the supplementary material.Section4.1describes the RotatedFilters-New10×entry.4.Improving the state of the artIn this section we leverage the insights of the analysis, to improve localization and background-versus-foreground discrimination of our baseline detector.DetectorTrainingdataMedianIoU OMedianIoU N Roerei[2]INRIA0.760.84RotatedFilters Orig.10×0.800.77RotatedFilters New10×0.760.85 Table3:Median IoU of true positives for detectors trained on different data,evaluated on original and new Caltech test.Models trained on INRIA align well with our new an-notations,confirming that they are more precise than previ-ous ones.Curves for other detectors in the supplement.Detector Anno.variant MR O−2MR N−2ACFOriginal36.9040.97Pruned36.4135.62New41.2934.33 RotatedFiltersOriginal28.6333.03Pruned23.8725.91New31.6525.74 Table4:Effects of different training annotations on detec-tion quality on validation set(1×training set).Italic num-bers have matching training and test sets.Both detectors im-prove on the original annotations,when using the“pruned”variant(see§4.1).4.1.Impact of training annotationsWith new annotations at hand we want to understand what is the impact of annotation quality on detection qual-ity.We will train ACF[5]and RotatedFilters mod-els(introduced in section2.2)using different training sets and evaluate on both original and new annotations(i.e. MR O−2,MR O−4and MR N−2,MR N−4).Note that both detect-ors are trained via boosting and thus inherently sensitive to annotation noise.Pruning benefits Table4shows results when training with original,new and pruned annotations(using a5/6+1/6 training and validation split of the full training set).As ex-pected,models trained on original/new and tested on ori-ginal/new perform better than training and testing on differ-ent annotations.To understand better what the new annota-tions bring to the table,we build a hybrid set of annotations. Pruned annotations is a mid-point that allows to decouple the effects of removing errors and improving alignment. Pruned annotations are generated by matching new and ori-ginal annotations(IoU≥0.5),marking as ignore region any original annotation absent in the new ones,and adding any new annotation absent in the original ones.From original to pruned annotations the main change is re-moving annotation errors,from pruned to new,the main change is better alignment.From table4both ACF and RotatedFilters benefit from removing annotation er-rors,even in MR O−2.This indicates that our new training setFigure 8:Examples of automatically aligned ground truth annotations.Left/right →before/after alignment.1×data

5:Detection quality of RotatedFilters on test set when using different aligned training sets.All mod-els trained with Caltech 10×,composed with different 1×+9×combinations.is better sanitized than the original one.We see in MR N −2that the stronger detector benefits more from better data,and that the largest gain in detection qual-ity comes from removing annotation errors.Alignment benefits The detectors from the ICF family benefit from training with increased training data [16,23],using 10×data is better than 1×(see section 2.1).To lever-age the 9×remaining data using the new 1×annotations we train a model over the new annotations and use this model to re-align the original annotations over the 9×portion.Be-cause the new annotations are better aligned,we expect this model to be able to recover slight position and scale errors in the original annotations.Figure 8shows example results of this process.See supplementary material for details.Table 5reports results using the automatic alignment pro-cess,and a few degraded cases:using the original 10×,self-aligning the original 10×using a model trained over original 10×,and aligning the original 10×using only a fraction of the new annotations (without replacing the 1×portion).The results indicate that using a detector model to improve overall data alignment is indeed effective,and that better aligned training data leads to better detection quality (both in MR O and MR N ).This is in line with the analysis of section 3.2.Already using a model trained on 1/2of the new annotations for alignment,leads to a stronger model than obtained when using original annotations.We name the RotatedFilters model trained using the new annotations and the aligned 9×data,Rotated-Filters-New10×.This model also reaches high me-dian true positives IoU in table 3,indicating that indeed it obtains more precise detections at test time.Conclusion Using high quality annotations for training improves the overall detection quality,thanks both to im-proved alignment and to reduced annotation errors.4.2.Convnets for pedestrian detectionThe results of section 3.2indicate that there is room for improvement by focusing on the core background versus foreground discrimination task (the “classification part of object detection”).Recent work [15,20]showed compet-itive performance with convolutional neural networks (con-vnets)for pedestrian detection.We include convnets into our analysis,and explore to what extent performance is driven by the quality of the detection proposals.AlexNet and VGG We consider two convnets.1)The AlexNet from [15],and 2)The VGG16model from [12].Both are pre-trained on ImageNet and fine-tuned over Cal-tech 10×(original annotations)using SquaresChnFtrs proposals.Both networks are based on open source,and both are instances of the R-CNN framework [13].Albeit their training/test time architectures are slightly different (R-CNN versus Fast R-CNN),we expect the result differ-ences to be dominated by their respective discriminative power (VGG16improves 8pp in mAP over AlexNet in the Pascal detection task [13]).Table 6shows that as we improve the quality of the detection proposals,AlexNet fails to provide a consistent gain,eventually worsening the results of our ICF detect-ors (similar observation done in [15]).Similarly VGG provides large gains for weaker proposals,but as the pro-posals improve,the gain from the convnet re-scoring even-tually stalls.After closer inspection of the resulting curves (see sup-plementary material),we notice that both AlexNet and VGG push background instances to lower scores,and at the same time generate a large number of high scoring false positives.The ICF detectors are able to provide high recall proposals,where false positives around the objects have low scores (see [15,supp.material,fig.9]),however convnets have difficulties giving low scores to these windows sur-rounding the true positives.In other words,despite their fine-tuning,the convnet score maps are “blurrier”than the proposal ones.We hypothesise this is an intrinsic limita-tion of the AlexNet and VGG architectures,due to their in-ternal feature pooling.Obtaining “peakier”responses from a convnet most likely will require using rather different ar-chitectures,possibly more similar to the ones used for se-mantic labelling or boundaries estimation tasks,which re-quire pixel-accurate output.Fortunately,we can compensate for the lack of spatial resolution in the convnet scoring by using bounding box regression.Adding bounding regression over VGG,and ap-plying a second round of non-maximum suppression (first NMS on the proposals,second on the regressed boxes),has。

JERUSALEM — Last month, on a freeway from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea, I sat in the driver's seat of an Audi A7 while software connected to a video camera on the windshield drove the car at speeds up to 65 miles an hour — making a singularstatement about the rapid progress in the development of self-driving cars.耶路撒冷——上月,在从耶路撒冷到死海的高速路上,我坐在一辆奥迪(Audi)A7的驾驶座上,而与装在挡风玻璃上的摄像头相连的软件,则在驾驶这辆汽车以每小时65英里(约合104.6公里)的速度前进,显示着自动驾驶汽车发展的神速。
While the widely publicized Google car and other autonomous vehicles are festooned with cameras, radar and the laser range finders called lidars, this one is distinctive because of the simplicity and the relatively low cost of its system — just a few hundred dollars' worth of materials. "The idea is to get the best out of camera-only autonomous driving," said Gaby Hayon, senior vice president for research and development at Mobileye Vision Technologies, the Israeli company that created the system in the Audi.受到广泛宣传的谷歌(Google)汽车和其他自动驾驶汽车装满了摄像头、雷达和被称作“激光雷达”(lidar)的激光测距仪,而这部汽车的独到之处却在于简洁,以及成本相对较低的系统,材料只需几百美元。

Pedestrian Detection with Radar and Computer VisionMilch, S., Behrens, M., smart microwave sensors GmbH,BraunschweigAbstractThis paper presents a method for detecting pedestrians on-board a moving vehicle. The perception of the environment is performed through the fusion of an automotive radar sensor and a monocular vision system. The fusion uses a two-step approach for efficient object detection. In the first step, a target-list is generated from the radar sensor. The items in the list are hypotheses for the presents of pedestrians. In a second step, hypotheses are proved by the vision system. This method achieves very large speed-ups compared to a sole image processing solution.IntroductionPedestrians are one of the most valuable traffic participants. In Germany, more than 39.000 pedestrians were injured in 1999 alone, due to collisions with vehicles. Of these, more than 900 were deadly injuries [7].The aim is to develop assistant and safety systems to avoid these accidents or at least minimize their severity.To detect pedestrians with an artificial system is difficult for a number of reasons. The main challenge for a vision-based pedestrian detector is the high degree of variability with the human appearance due to articulated motion, body size, partial occlusion, inconsistent cloth texture, highly cluttered backgrounds and changing lighting conditions. Moreover, the applications, to protect pedestrians, defines hard real-time requirements and rigid performance criteria.System outlineThe system consists of an automotive radar and a video sensor. Both sensors have different properties (Table 1).The idea of combining multiple inputs to infer information about the environment is very natural. It is done by humans in everyday live, since we are all the time combining acoustic, visual and tactile information to get more reliable knowledge about the world around us. Sometimes it is not possible to derive the information needed for a particular task from one single sensor. Furthermore, there is no perfect sensor, so it is reasonable to make use of the favorable properties of one sensor and to suppress the disadvantages by applying a smart combination scheme. Sensorfusion means a very wide domain and it is difficult to provide a precise definition. We use the following definition based upon the work of Wald [6]:“… data fusion is a formal framework in which are expressed means and tools for the alliance of data originating from different sources. It aims at obtaining information of greater quality; the exact definition of «greater quality» will depend upon the application.”Radar VideoResult of measurement List of reflection-points(range, velocity, angle,RCS1) Grayscale matrix (brightness distribution)Sensor principle Active Passive Data rate Low HighObject detection Clustering of reflection-points(without model) Knowledge based interpretation (with model)Object properties Location, velocity, RCS Model dependingTable 1: Sensor Properties: Radar and VideoHere, quality has not a very specific meaning. It is a generic word denoting that the resulting information is more satisfactory for the “customer” when performing the fusion process than without it. In our case, the aim is increased confidence. In addition, we must consider performance issues related to computational complexity and accuracy. The application require computation to be performed on-line under real-time. A fusion process can take place on different hierarchical levels. In general, a fusion process can be established on the data -, feature or decision level. In the present case, a fusion process on the feature level is selected, in order to use the advantage of data reduction compared with a fusion on data level.Figure 1 outlines the intersection area from both sensors. Each sensor measures two dimensions of a three dimensional world.Different architectures are possible for sensor fusion. Mostly common is a parallel combination of sensors to extract feature vectors for the observed objects. In this application a sequential analysis of the feature vector speeds-up processing. Sequential analysis leads to a hierarchical fusion architecture. The radar sensor generates a list of objects. For each object distance, angle and radar cross section (RCS) are extracted. The radar sensor detects objects without an explicit object-1 RCS – Radar Cross Section: A measure of the reflective strength of a radar target. Usually represented by the symbol σ, measure in square meters, and defined as 4π times the ratio of the power per unit solid angle scattered in a specified direction to the power per unit area in a plane wave incident on the scatterer from a specified direction. The value depends on shape, size, material properties and aspect angle (wave – object).Figure 1: Field of viewmodel. In addition, computational complexity is rather low. In a pre-selection phase, the pedestrian candidates are filtered: only the ones that satisfy specific constrains on the speed, RCS and size are selected as hypotheses. These hypotheses are the input for the signal-processing module of the vision sensor (Figure 2).Unlike radar, computer vision needs object-models for the objects of interest. These models contain in most cases parameters to cover changes of appearance [4]. Object detection is a search of maximum of a similarity function. The dimension of search-space is in worst case equal to the dimension of the parameter vector of the used model. With hierarchical sensor combination dimension of search-space is reduced drastically.Radar System OverviewThe radar system consists of two individual radar sensors with slightly overlapping field of view and a central processing unit that fusions the radar sensor data and vehicle information like velocity and steering. Further, it tracks the data over time and selects object data for the hypotheses list.target listr, vrel,imagehypothesislistexaminedhypothesis listtime basedstabilizationFigure 2: Topology of the pedestrian detection systemThe advantage of using a radar system is that the functionality is nearly uninfluenced by weather, day/night conditions and pollution. The installation could be done invisible behind a bumper, so that the vehicle contour and design is not influenced. Radar measures runtime, power and Doppler frequency shift of electromagnetic waves, transmitted from the sensor and reflected back from objects in the field of view. Runtime is a measure for the distance and Doppler frequency shift for the velocity of an object. The angle between the radar sensor bearing and the object is measured comparing phase values of the received signal. An overview on the sensor characteristics is given in Table 2.The radar sensor measures only point targets or sub reflectors of an object with great expansion. Only objects like cars, trees, traffic signs, bicycles and human beings are detected. Street and pavement are not seen due to the lack of significant reflectors.

With the received power Preceiveand (1)an estimation of RCS σ for each detected object could be calculated. RCS is used to differentiate between objects, e.g. pedestrians have a typical RCS between 0.01 m² and 1 m² at 24 GHz while carshave values between 0.1 m² and 1000 m². Another criterion is object velocity. Pedestrians have a maximum velocity less than 10 m/s (running), normally less than two m/s, while cars and bikes could have much higher velocities. Classification between point targets (e.g. traffic sign, pedestrian) and area targets like cars is done by clustering object data using correlated range, velocity and angle. The hypotheses list is given by the intersection set of objects that are point targets and fulfils the RCS and velocity criteria for pedestrians.Carrier Frequency 24.125 GHz (λ = 12,4 mm)Transmit Power 10 mWSize (WxHxD) 75 mm x 90 mm x 35 mmField of View Azimuth: 50° (± 25°) Elevation: 16° (± 8°)Maximum Range up to 40 mUsed Measurement Range r = [0.1 … 20]v = [-80 m/s … 80 m/s] ϕ = [-25° … +25°]Measurement Accuracy r~< 0.1 m v~< 0.1 m/s ϕ~< 1°Communication Interface CAN-BusTable 2: Radar Sensors PropertiesHypothesis Verification by Vision DataIn this stage, the pedestrian-hypotheses from the radar system are checked with additional information from the video sensor. A hypothesis consists of a position, a velocity and a moving direction. The position is determined by range and angle, the altitude is not known. To transform points from the coordinate system of the radar sensor in the coordinate system of the vision system, the orientation of both sensors must be known in 3D world-coordinate system. A 2D point is transformed with an estimated altitude in the 3D world-coordinate system. With a camera model the projection from 3D world- to 2D imager coordinates is calculated (Figure 3).The vision system has been designed to work with only grayscale images, either visible or near infrared. While most previous work on detecting people relies heavily on color cues, this system is designed for outdoor scenarios, and particularly for nighttime or other low light level situations. In such cases, color will not be available.Radarr,h(x, y, z)(3D Object hypotheses)(2D Object list) (3D Data/Coordinates)Camera Model(2D Video Image)Object ModelsFigure 3: Transformations between different coordinate systemsThe hypothesis is checked with a pedestrian model. It is essential to ask what form of representation are suitable for mediating effective computation for the perception of dynamic visual objects as pedestrians in traffic scenarios. In other words, what information is most relevant to the perception of human bodies and what form of representation enables such information to be extracted from video images and utilized under the demands of temporal and computational constraints?A comprehensive literature review for models to represent a priori information about human appearance is given by Gavrila [2].We use a flexible 2D prior model of silhouette shape to recognize and track pedestrians in image sequences. Classification is performed based on shape information. Two-dimensional deformable models, also known as “active contours” or “snakes”, were originally proposed by Kass et al [3]. Snake was presented as energy-minimizing parametric closed curve guided by external forces. Because snakes do not incorporate prior knowledge about expected shapes, this approach is easily confused by other structures present in the image and occlusion.A prior shape model incorporates useful constraints on the apparent shape of a pedestrian silhouette that allows the system to cope with missing information due to image noise, background clutter and partial occlusions. A deformable model is required to model the apparent change in shape due to pose (i.e. position of limbs etc) and viewpoint relative to the camera.We trained a flexible shape model using pedestrian shapes extracted manually from video sequences. During training, the distribution of shape parameters was established. Two different models were trained, one for a frontal view and one for a side view of the human body.The initial placement is performed by the hypothesis from the radar sensor. At this stage, a person is considered to be average world height and to be vertical in the image. An image fitting process is used to provide a fitness measure for the current hypothesis. The fitness measure is the percentage of the contour that is locked onto a significant image feature. If the fitness for a hypothesis is above a threshold then the hypothesis is accepted. Otherwise, the hypothesis is rejected and no longer examined.Conclusions and OutlookIn [1] static methods for pedestrian protection are examined. A sensor system, that is able to detect pedestrians, makes it possible to develop an active protection system. Active systems have advantages for cars with tight engine packaging, in this case an "active hood" is able to decrease impact severity. The feasibility of the suggested system was shown, performance analyzes, enhancements and optimization are still under examination.References[1] Brown, G., “Headlight Design Changes Resulting from Proposed PedestrianProtection Requirements”, In: PAL Progress in Automobile Lighting Vol. 5,Symposium Proceedings, Darmstadt University of Technology, 1999[2] Gavrila, D., “The visual analysis of human movement: A survey”, ComputerVision Image Understanding, Vol. 73, No.1, pp 82-98, 1999[3] Kass, M., Witkin, A., Terzopoulos, D., "Snakes, Active contour models", FirstInternational Conference on Computer Vision, pp. 259-268, IEEE, ComputerSociety Press, 1987[4] Milch, S., “Videobasierte Fahreridentifikation in Kraftfahrzeugen ”, DissertationUniversität Darmstadt: Fachgebiet Lichttechnik, Utz-Verlag, München, 2001 [5] Skolnik, M.
