The Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) brought together for the first time in history nine autonomous racing teams competing at an unprecedented speed and in a head-to-head scenario, using independently developed software on open-wheel race cars. This paper presents the complete software architecture used by the team TII EuroRacing (TII-ER), covering all the modules needed to avoid static obstacles, perform active overtakes, and reach speeds above 75m/s (270km/h). In addition to the most common modules related to perception, planning, and control, we discuss the approaches used for vehicle dynamics modeling, simulation, telemetry, and safety. Overall results and the performance of each module are described, as well as the lessons learned during the first two events of the competition on oval tracks, where the team placed second and third, respectively.
With the advancement of computing resources, an increasing number of Neural Networks (NNs) are appearing for image detection and segmentation appear. However, these methods usually accept as input a RGB 2D image. On t...

Object detection in real images or videos is challenging because the shapes and sizes of objects vary significantly according to their poses, camera viewing direction, and partial occlusion. Previous detection methods employ sliding-window-based schemes that scan windows across an image, requiring many differently shaped windows to capture shape and size variation. In order to solve this problem, we propose an object detection method using hierarchical graph-based segmentation: color-consistent parts are obtained by part-level segmentation and category-consistent regions are found using object-level segmentation. Thus we can avoid scanning a lot of windows across whole images by using part-level segmentation and robustly detect the objects of various shapes and sizes by using object-level segmentation. In addition, we evaluate detection performance using various classifiers with our detection approach.

In stereo matching, homogeneous areas, depth continuity areas, and occluded areas need more attention. Many methods try to handle pixels in homogeneous areas by propagating supports. As a result, pixels in homogeneous areas get assigned disparities inferred from the disparities of neighboring pixels. However, at the same time, pixels in depth discontinuity areas get supports from different depths and/or from occluded pixels, and resultant disparity maps are easy to be blurred. To resolve this problem, we propose a non-linear diffusion-based support aggregation method. Supports are iteratively aggregated with the support-weights, while adjusting the support-weights according to disparities to prevent incorrect supports from different depths and/or occluded pixels. As a result, the proposed method yields good results not only in homogeneous areas but also in depth discontinuity areas as the iteration goes on without the critical degradation of performance.
It is known from psychology that humans cope with stress by either changing stress-induced situations (which is called problemoriented coping strategy) or by changing his/her internal perception about the stress-induc...

This paper presents an efficient and robust paradigm for analysis and query of moving-object interactions in planar homography *** and vehicle activities/interactions are analyzed for situational awareness by using a multi-perspective *** homography constraints are exploited to extract view-invariant object features including footage area and velocity of objects on the ground plane. Spatio-temporal relationships between person-and vehicle-tracks are represented by a semantic event grammar. Semantic-level information of the situation is achieved with the anticipation of possible directions of near-future tracks using piecewise velocity history. An efficient query paradigm is proposed by histogram-based approximation of probability density functions of objects and by quad-tree indexing. Experimental data show promising *** framework can be applied to applications for enhanced situational awareness such as disaster prevention,human interactions in structured environments,and crowd movement analysis in wide-view areas.

Given a set of surface normals, we pose a Manhattan Frame (MF) estimation problem as a consensus set maximization that maximizes the number of inliers over the rotation search space. We solve this problem through a branchand-bound framework, which mathematically guarantees a globally optimal solution. However, the computational time of conventional branch-and-bound algorithms are intractable for real-time performance. In this paper, we propose a novel bound computation method within an efficient measurement domain for MF estimation, i.e., the extended Gaussian image (EGI). By relaxing the original problem, we can compute the bounds in real-time, while preserving global optimality. Furthermore, we quantitatively and qualitatively demonstrate the performance of the proposed method for synthetic and real-world data. We also show the versatility of our approach through two applications: extension to multiple MF estimation and video stabilization.
