VISION-BASED PERCEPTION KIT FOR PROJECTS OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

VISION-BASED PERCEPTION KIT FOR PROJECTS OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

The “ADAS Groupement” of Mov'eo (imagine mobility) proposes to research laboratories (universities, laboratories), which develop autonomous vehicles demonstrators, a very effective image perception kit: camera, data/signals/images/video acquisition in real time, road detection, obstacle detection, pattern recognition over obstacles.

This kit consists of three parts:

• RT-MAPS software to acquire data, signals, video, all time stamped. RT-MAPS allows you to replay data, signals, images, synchronized and can integrate processing modules.

• both RoadNex (which detects the road ahead of a vehicle from a camera), and ObstaNex (which detects obstacles in front of the vehicle from a camera and an inertial measurement unit) modules. NB: a camera may be provided with both modules.

•  Neuro-RBF module: neural network based system to develop oneself pattern recognition applications on the obstacles detected by ObstaNex (eg recognition of signs, pedestrian, etc ...). This system will be integrated in a neural processor, in the future.

All modules are available as executable components into RT-MAPS.

These four modules (RT-MAPS, RoadNex, ObstaNex, et Neuro-RBF) already have solid references in French universities.
