Abstract:

Nowadays, autonomous driving revolution is getting closer to reality. To achieve the Autonomous driving the first step is to develop the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). Driver-assistance systems are one of the fastest-growing segments in automotive electronics since already there are many forms of ADAS available. To investigate state of art of development of ADAS towards Autonomous Driving, we develop Systematic Mapping Study (SMS). SMS methodology is used to collect, classify, and analyze the relevant publications. A classification is introduced based on the developments carried out in ADAS towards Autonomous driving. According to SMS methodology, we identified 894 relevant publications about ADAS and its developmental journey toward Autonomous Driving completed from 2012 to 2016. We classify the area of our research under three classifications: technical classifications, research types and research contributions. The related publications are classified under thirty-three technical classifications. This thesis sheds light on a better understanding of the achievements and shortcomings in this area. By evaluating collected results, we answer our seven research questions. The result specifies that most of the publications belong to the Models and Solution Proposal from the research type and contribution. The least number of the publications belong to the Automated…Autonomous driving from the technical classification which indicated the lack of publications in this area.

Abstract:

A demanda por novas tecnologias, melhoria de segurança e conforto para veículos urbanos cresceu consideravelmente nos últimos anos, motivando a indústria na criação de sistemas destinados ao apoio de motoristas (ADAS - Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). Este fato contribuiu para o desenvolvimento de diversos sistemas embarcados na área automobilística destacando-se, à prevenção de colisão a pedestres por veículos. Através do avanço em diversas pesquisas, começaram a circular pelas ruas veículos com sistemas anticolisão e com navegação autônoma. Contudo, para alcançar objetivos cada vez mais desafiadores, os projetistas precisam de ferramentas que permitam unir tecnologias e conhecimentos de áreas distintas de forma eficiente. Nesse contexto, há uma demanda para a construção de sistemas que aumentem o nível de abstração da modelagem de projetos para o processamento de imagens em sistemas embarcados e assim, possibilitando uma melhor exploração do espaço de projetos. A fim de contribuir para minimizar este problema, este trabalho de pesquisa demonstra o desenvolvimento de um framework para coprojeto de hardware e software específico para a construção de sistemas ADAS que utilizam visão computacional. O Framework visa facilitar o desenvolvimento dessas aplicações permitindo a exploração o espaço de projeto (DSE - Design Space Exploration), e assim contribuindo para um ganho de desempenho no desenvolvimento de sistemas embarcados quando comparados à construção totalmente de um modo manual. Uma das características deste projeto é a possibilidade da simulação da aplicação antes da síntese em um sistema reconfigurável. Os principais desafios deste sistema foram relacionados à construção do sistema de intercomunicação entre os diversos blocos de Propriedade Intelectual (IP) e os componentes de software, abstraindo do usuário final inúmeros detalhes de hardware, tais como gerenciamento de memória, interrupções, cache, tipos de dados (ponto flutuante, ponto fixo, inteiros) e etc, possibilitando um sistema mais amigável ao projetista.
The demand for new technologies, enhanced security and comfort for urban cars has grown considerably in recent years prompting the industry to create systems designed to support drivers (ADAS - Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). This fact contributed to the development of many embedded systems in the automotive area among them, the pedestrians collision avoidance. Through the advancement in various research, began circulating through the streets vehicles with anti-collision systems and autonomous navigation. However, to achieve ever more challenging goals, designers need tools to unite technology and expertise from different areas efficiently. In this context, there is a demand for building systems that increase the level of abstraction of models of image processing for use in embedded systems enabling better design space exploration. To help minimize this problem, this research demonstrates a develop a specific framework for hardware/software codesign to build ADAS systems using computer vision. The framework aims to facilitate the development of applications, allowing better explore the design space, and thus contribute to a performance gain in the development of embedded systems in relation to building entirely in hardware. One of the requirements of the project is the possibility of the simulation of an application before synthesis on a reconfigurable system. The main challenges of this system were related to the construction of the intercommunication system between the various Intellectual Property (IP) blocks and the software components, abstracting from the end user numerous hardware details, such as memory management, interruptions, cache, types (Floating point, fixed point, integers) and so on, enabling a more user-friendly system for the designer.

Abstract:

Driving is a high-risk adventure which many enjoy on a daily basis. The driving task is highly complex, ever-changing, and one which requires continuous attention and rapid decision making. It is a task that is not without risk, where the cost to reach the desired destination can be too great – your life could be at stake. Driving is not without incidents. Rear-end collision is a common problem in the Swedish traffic environment, with over 100 police-reported individual incidents per year. The amount of rear-end collisions can be hypothetically reduced by introducing new technology in the driver’s vehicle, technology which attempts to improve the driver’s safety driving. This technology is called Advanced Driver Assistance Systems – ADAS. In this study two ADAS were evaluated in a driving simulator study: An Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) which operates on both hazardous and non-hazardous events, and a Collision Warning System (CWS) which operates solely on non-hazardous events. Both of these ADAS function to guard against risky driving and are based on the assumption that drivers will not act in such a manner that they would willingly reduce the effectiveness of the system. A within-subjects simulation study was conducted where participants drove under three conditions: 1) with an adaptive cruise controller, 2) a frontal rear-end collision warning system ADAS, and 3) unaided, in order to investigate differences between the three driving conditions. Particular focus was on whether the two ADAS improved driving safety. The study results indicate that driving enhanced by the two ADAS made the participating drivers drive less safely.

Abstract:

La vision par ordinateur est primordiale pour la compréhension et l’analyse d’une scène routière afin de construire des systèmes d’aide à la conduite (ADAS) plus intelligents. Cependant, l’implémentation de ces systèmes dans un réel environnement automobile et loin d’être simple. En effet, ces applications nécessitent une haute performance de calcul en plus d’une précision algorithmique. Pour répondre à ces exigences, de nouvelles architectures hétérogènes sont apparues. Elles sont composées de plusieurs unités de traitement avec différentes technologies de calcul parallèle: GPU, accélérateurs dédiés, etc. Pour mieux exploiter les performances de ces architectures, différents langages sont nécessaires en fonction du modèle d’exécution parallèle. Dans cette thèse, nous étudions diverses méthodologies de programmation parallèle. Nous utilisons une étude de cas complexe basée sur la stéréo-vision. Nous présentons les caractéristiques et les limites de chaque approche. Nous évaluons ensuite les outils employés principalement en terme de performances de calcul et de difficulté de programmation. Le retour de ce travail de recherche est crucial pour le développement de futurs algorithmes de traitement d’images en adéquation avec les architectures parallèles avec un meilleur compromis entre les performances de calcul, la précision algorithmique et la difficulté de programmation
Computer Vision (CV) is crucial for understanding and analyzing the driving scene to build more intelligent Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). However, implementing CV-based ADAS in a real automotive environment is not straightforward. Indeed, CV algorithms combine the challenges of high computing performance and algorithm accuracy. To respond to these requirements, new heterogeneous circuits are developed. They consist of several processing units with different parallel computing technologies as GPU, dedicated accelerators, etc. To better exploit the performances of such architectures, different languages are required depending on the underlying parallel execution model. In this work, we investigate various parallel programming methodologies based on a complex case study of stereo vision. We introduce the relevant features and limitations of each approach. We evaluate the employed programming tools mainly in terms of computation performances and programming productivity. The feedback of this research is crucial for the development of future CV algorithms in adequacy with parallel architectures with a best compromise between computing performance, algorithm accuracy and programming efforts

Abstract:

Intersection crashes represent one-fifth of all police reported traffic crashes and one-sixth of all fatal crashes in the United States each year. Active safety systems have the potential to reduce crashes and injuries across all crash modes by partially or fully controlling the vehicle in the event that a crash is imminent. The objective of this thesis was to evaluate crash and injury reduction in a future United States fleet equipped with intersection advanced driver assistance systems (I-ADAS). In order to evaluate this, injury risk modeling was performed. The dataset used to evaluate injury risk was the National Automotive Sampling System / Crashworthiness Data System (NASS/CDS). An injured occupant was defined as vehicle occupant who experienced an injury of maximum Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) of 2 or greater, or who were fatally injured. This was referred to as MAIS2+F injury. Cases were selected in which front-row occupants of late-model vehicles were exposed to a frontal, near-, or far-side crash. Logistic regression was used to develop an injury model with occupant, vehicle, and crash parameters as predictor variables. For the frontal and near-side impact models, New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) test results were used as a predictor variable. This work quantitatively described the injury risk for a wide variety of crash modes, informing effectiveness estimates. This work reconstructed 501 vehicle-to-vehicle left turn across path / opposite direction (LTAP/OD) crashes in the United States which had been originally investigated in NMVCCS. The performance of thirty different I-ADAS system variations was evaluated for each crash. These variations were the combinations of five Time to Collision (TTC) activation thresholds, three latency times, and two different intervention types (automated braking and driver warning). In addition, two sightline assumptions were modeled for each crash: one where the turning vehicle was visible long before the intersection, and one where the turning vehicle was only visible after entering the intersection. For resimulated crashes which were not avoided by I-ADAS, a new crash delta-v was computed for each vehicle. The probability of MAIS2+F injury to each front row occupant was computed. Depending on the system design, sightline assumption, I-ADAS variation, and fleet penetration, an I-ADAS system that automatically applies emergency braking could avoid 18%-84% of all LTAP/OD crashes. An I-ADAS system which applies emergency braking could prevent 44%-94% of front row occupants from receiving MAIS2+F injuries. I-ADAS crash and injured person reduction effectiveness was higher when both vehicles were equipped with I-ADAS. This study presented the simulated effectiveness of a hypothetical intersection active safety system on real crashes which occurred in the United States, showing strong potential for these systems to reduce crashes and injuries. However, this crash and injury reduction effectiveness made the idealized assumption of full installation in all vehicles of a future fleet. In order to evaluate I-ADAS effectiveness in the United States fleet the proportion of new vehicles with I-ADAS was modeled using Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) fleet penetration predictions. The number of potential LTAP/OD conflicts was modeled as increasing year over year due to a predicted increase in Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). Finally, the combined effect of these changes was used to predict the number of LTAP/OD crashes each year from 2019 to 2060. In 2060, we predicted 70,439 NMVCCS-type LTAP/OD crashes would occur. The predicted number of MAIS2+F injured front row occupants in 2060 was 3,836. This analysis shows that even in the long-term fleet penetration of Intersection Active Safety Systems, many injuries will continue to occur. This underscores the importance of maintaining passive safety performance in future vehicles.
M.S.
Future vehicles will have electronic systems that can avoid crashes in some cases where a human driver is unable, unaware, or reacts insufficiently to avoid the crash without assistance. The objective of this work was to determine, on a national scale, how many crashes and injuries could be avoided due to Intersection Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (I-ADAS), a hypothetical version of one of these up-and-coming systems. This work focused on crashes where one car is turning left at an intersection and the other car is driving through the intersection and not turning. The I-ADAS system has sensors which continuously search for other vehicles. When the I-ADAS system determines that a crash may happen, it applies the brakes or otherwise alerts the driver to apply the brakes. Rather than conduct actual crash tests, this was simulated on a computer for a large number of variations of the I-ADAS system. The basis for the simulations was real crashes that happened from 2005 to 2007 across the United States. The variations that were simulated changed the time at which the I-ADAS system triggered the brakes (or alert) and the simulated amount of computer time required for the I-ADAS system to make a choice. In some turning crashes, the car cannot see the other vehicle because of obstructions, such as a line of people waiting to turn left across the road. Because of this, simulations were conducted both with and without the visual obstruction. For comparison, we performed a simulation of the original crash as it happened in real life. Finally, since there are two cars in each crash, there are simulations when either car has the I-ADAS system or when both cars have the I-ADAS system. Each simulation either ends in a crash or not, and these are tallied up for each system variation. The number of crashes avoided compared to the number of simulations run is crash effectiveness. Crash effectiveness ranged from 1% to 84% based on the system variation. For each crash that occurred, there is another simulation of the time immediately after impact to determine how severe the impact was. This is used to determine how many injuries are avoided, because often the crashes which still happened were made less severe by the I-ADAS system. In order to determine how many injuries can be avoided by making the crash less severe, the first chapter focuses on injury modeling. This analysis was based on crashes from 2008 to 2015 which were severe enough that one of the vehicles was towed. This was then filtered down by only looking at crashes where the front or sides were damaged. Then, we compared the outcome (injury as reported by the hospital) to the circumstances (crash severity, age, gender, seat belt use, and others) to develop an estimate for how each of these crash circumstances affected the injury experienced by each driver and front row passenger. A second goal for this chapter was to evaluate whether federal government crash ratings, commonly referred to as “star ratings”, are related to whether the driver and passengers are injured or not. In frontal crashes (where a vehicle hits something going forwards), the star rating does not seem to be related to the injury outcome. In near-side crashes (the side next to the occupant is hit), a higher star rating is better. For frontal crashes, the government test is more extreme than all but a few crashes observed in real life, and this might be why the injury outcomes measured in this study are not related to frontal star rating. Finally, these crash and injury effectiveness values will only ever be achieved if every car has an I-ADAS system. The objective of the third chapter was to evaluate how the crash and injury effectiveness numbers change each year as new cars are purchased and older cars are scrapped. Early on, few cars will have I-ADAS and crashes and injuries will likely still occur at roughly the rate they would without the system. This means that crashes and injuries will continue to increase each year because the United States drives more miles each year. Eventually, as consumers buy new cars and replace older ones, left turn intersection crashes and injuries are predicted to be reduced. Long into the future (around 2050), the increase in crashes caused by miles driven each year outpaces the gains due to new cars with the I-ADAS system, since almost all of the old cars without I-ADAS have been removed from the fleet. In 2025, there will be 173,075 crashes and 15,949 injured persons that could be affected by the I-ADAS system. By 2060, many vehicles will have I-ADAS and there will be 70,439 crashes and 3,836 injuries remaining. Real cars will not have a system identical to the hypothetical I-ADAS system studied here, but systems like it have the potential to significantly reduce crashes and injuries.

Abstract:

This thesis consists of two projects focusing on how 5G can be used to make vehicles safer. The first project focuses on conceptualizing near-future use cases of how Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) can be enhanced through 5G technology. Four concepts were developed in collaboration with various industry partners. These concepts were successfully demonstrated in a proof-of-concept at the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) “The 5G Path of Vehicle-to-Everything Communication: From Local to Global” conference in Turin, Italy. This proof-of-concept was the world’s first demonstration of such a system. The second project focuses on a futuristic use case, namely remote operation of semi-autonomous vehicles (sAVs). As part of this work, it was explored if augmented reality (AR) can be used to warn remote operators of dangerous events. It was explored if such augmentations can be used to compensate during critical events. These events are defined as occurrences in which the network conditions are suboptimal, and information provided to the operator is limited. To evaluate this, a simulator environment was developed that uses eye- tracking technology to study the impact of such scenarios through user studies. The simulator establishes an extendable platform for future work. Through experiments, it was found that AR can be beneficial in spotting danger. However, it can also be used to directly affect the scanning patterns at which the operator views the scene and directly affect their visual scanning behavior.
Denna avhandling består av två projekt med fokus på hur 5G kan användas för att göra fordon säkrare. Det första projektet fokuserar på att konceptualisera användningsfall i närmaste framtid av hur Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) kan förbättras genom 5G-teknik. Fyra koncept utvecklades i samarbete med olika branschpartner. Dessa koncept demonstrerade i ett proof-of- concept på 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) “5G Path of Vehicle to to Everything Communication: From Local to Global” -konferensen i Turin, Italien. Detta bevis-of-concept var världens första demonstration av ett sådant system. Det andra projektet fokuserar på ett långt futuristiskt användningsfall, nämligen fjärrstyrning av semi-autonoma fordon (sAVs). Som en del av detta arbete undersöktes det om augmented reality (AR) kan användas för att varna fjärroperatörer om farliga händelser. Det undersöktes om sådana förstärkningar kan användas för att kompensera under kritiska händelser. Dessa händelser definieras som händelser där nätverksförhållandena är suboptimala och information som tillhandahålls till operatören är begränsad. För att utvärdera detta utvecklades en simulatormiljö som använder ögonspårningsteknologi för att studera effekterna av sådana scenarier genom en användarstudie. Simulatorn bildar en utdragbar plattform för framtida arbete. Genom experiment fann man att AR kan vara fördelaktigt när det gäller att upptäcka fara. Men det kan också användas för att direkt påverka skanningsmönstret där operatören tittar på scenen och direkt påverka deras visuella skanningsbeteende.

Abstract:

A començaments del segle XXI, els accidents de tràfic han esdevingut un greu problema no només pels països desenvolupats sino també pels emergents. Com en altres àrees científiques on la Intel·ligència Artificial s'ha transformat en un actor principal, els sistemes avançats d'assistència al conductor, i concretament els sistemes de protecció de vianants basats en Visió per Computador, han esdevingut una important línia d'investigació adressada a millorar la seguretat dels vianants. Tanmateix, el repte és d'una complexitat considerable donada la variabilitat dels humans (p.e., roba, mida, relació d'aspecte, forma, etc.), la naturalesa dinàmica dels sistemes d'abord i els entorns no estructurats en moviment que representen els escenaris urbans. A més, els requeriments de rendiment son rigorosos en termes de cost computacional i d'indexos de detecció. En aquesta tesi, en comptes de centrar-nos en millorar tasques específiques com sol ser freqüent a la literatura, presentem una aproximació global al problema. Aquesta visió global comença per la proposta d'una arquitectura genèrica pensada per a ser utilitzada com a marc tant per a la revisió de la literatura com per a organitzar les tècniques estudiades al llarg de la tesi. A continuació enfoquem la recerca en tasques com la segmentació dels objectes en primer pla, la classificació d'objectes i el refinament tot seguint una visió general i explorant aspectes que normalment no son analitzats. A l'hora de fer els experiments, també presentem una nova base de dades que consisteix en tres subconjunts, cadascun adressat a l'evaluació de les diferents tasques del sistema. Els resultats presentats en aquesta tesi no només finalitzen amb la proposta d'un sistema de detecció de vianants sino que van un pas més enllà indicant noves idees, formalitzant algoritmes proposats i ja existents, introduïnt noves tècniques i evaluant el seu rendiment, el qual esperem que aporti nous fonaments per a la futura investigació en aquesta àrea.
At the beginning of the 21th century, traffic accidents have become a major problem not only for developed countries but also for emerging ones. As in other scientific areas in which Artificial Intelligence is becoming a key actor, advanced driver assistance systems, and concretely pedestrian protection systems based on Computer Vision, are becoming a strong topic of research aimed at improving the safety of pedestrians. However, the challenge is of considerable complexity due to the varying appearance of humans (e.g., clothes, size, aspect ratio, shape, etc.), the dynamic nature of on-board systems and the unstructured moving environments that urban scenarios represent. In addition, the required performance is demanding both in terms of computational time and detection rates. In this thesis, instead of focusing on improving specific tasks as it is frequent in the literature, we present a global approach to the problem. Such a global overview starts by the proposal of a generic architecture to be used as a framework both to review the literature and to organize the studied techniques along the thesis. We then focus the research on tasks such as foreground segmentation, object classification and refinement following a general viewpoint and exploring aspects that are not usually analyzed. In order to perform the experiments, we also present a novel pedestrian dataset that consists of three subsets, each one addressed to the evaluation of a different specific task in the system. The results presented in this thesis not only end with a proposal of a pedestrian detection system but also go one step beyond by pointing out new insights, formalizing existing and proposed algorithms, introducing new techniques and evaluating their performance, which we hope will provide new foundations for future research in the area.

Abstract:

Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) has the potential to decrease the number of fatal accidents in traffic. However, in some cases, drivers with the systems in their car are resistant against using them. Exploring the underlying reasons and factors of the low-usage of ADAS was the purpose of this thesis. The thesis consists of Study I, an exploratory interview study with ten drivers who had cars with ADAS. The goal of Study I was to highlight the possible reasons behind the low usage of ADAS. The results of Study I were used to design Study II, which consisted of a survey targeted to drivers who had access to the ADAS adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist (N = 49). The results indicate that the factors or circumstances that affect usage depend on the ADAS and the user groups. Some identified underlying factors for low usage behavior of ADAS are the need to monitor the vehicle more when ADAS is activated and lack of trust in own ability when using ADAS compared to the high usage group.
Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) har potential att förhindra antalet dödsfall i trafiken. Det förekommer att förare som har systemen i sin bil, väljer bort att använda dem. Syftet med den här uppsatsen var att undersöka underliggande orsaker och faktorer till låg användningsgrad av ADAS. Uppsatsen består av två studier. Studie I är en explorativ intervjustudie med tio förare som hade bilar med ADAS. Målet med Studie I var att ringa in de möjliga bakomliggande faktorerna för låg användningsgrad av ADAS. Resultaten från Studie I användes för att utforma en enkätstudie till Studie II som var riktad till förare som hade bilar med förarstödsystemen adaptiv farthållare och körfältsassistans (N = 49). Resultaten pekar på att de underliggande orsakerna och faktorerna beror på vilken ADAS som avses samt vilket användargrupp föraren tillhör. Några underliggande faktorer för låg användingsgruppen tycks vara känsla av att behöva övervaka fordonet samt lägre grad av tilltro till den egna förmågan än vad höganvändingsgrupper rapporterade.

Abstract:

The demand for Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) applications is increasing day by day and their development requires efficient prototyping and real time testing. ADTF (Automotive Data and Time Triggered Framework) is a software tool from Elektrobit which is used for Development, Validation and Visualization of Vision based applications, mainly for ADAS and Autonomous driving. With the help of ADTF tool, Image or Video data can be recorded and visualized and also the testing of data can be processed both on-line and off-line. The development of ADAS applications needs image and video processing and the algorithm has to be highly efficient and must satisfy Real-time requirements. The main objective of this research would be to integrate OpenCV library with ADTF cross platform. OpenCV libraries provide efficient image processing algorithms which can be used with ADTF for quick benchmarking and testing. An ADTF filter framework has been developed where the OpenCV algorithms can be directly used and the testing of the framework is carried out with .DAT and image files with a modular approach. CMake is also explained in this thesis to build the system with ease of use. The ADTF filters are developed in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 in C++ and OpenMP API are used for Parallel programming approach.

Abstract:

The World Health Organization predicts that by the year 2030, road traffic injuries will be one of the top five leading causes of death. Many of these deaths and injuries can be prevented by driving cars properly equipped with state-of-the-art safety and driver assistance systems. Some examples are auto-brake and auto-collision avoidance which are becoming more and more popular on the market today. A recent study by a Swedish insurance company has shown that on roadswith speeds up to 50 km/h an auto-brake system can reduce personal injuries by up to 64 percent. In fact in an estimated 40 percent of crashes, the auto-brake reduced the effects to the degree that no personal injury was sustained. It is imperative that these so called Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, to be really effective, have good situational awareness. It is important that they have adequate information of the vehicle’s immediate surroundings. Where are other cars, pedestrians or motorcycles relative to our own vehicle? How fast are they driving and in which lane? How is our own vehicle driving? Are there objects in the way of our own vehicle’s intended path? These and many more questions can be answered by a properly designed system for situational awareness. In this thesis we design and evaluate, both quantitatively and qualitatively, sensor fusion algorithms for multi-target tracking. We use a combination of camera and radar information to perform fusion and find relevant objects in a cluttered environment. The combination of these two sensors is very interesting because of their complementary attributes. The radar system has high range resolution but poor bearing resolution. The camera system on the other hand has a very high bearing resolution. This is very promising, with the potential to substantially increase the accuracy of the tracking system compared to just using one of the two. We have also designed algorithms for path prediction and a first threat awareness logic which are both qualitively evaluated.

Abstract:

This thesis is about the development of a function that assists the driver of a heavy vehicle to do an estimation over the possibilities to overtake a preceding heavy vehicle. The function utilizes Look-Ahead and vehicle-to-vehicle communication to do a calculation of the distance between the vehicles in some road distance ahead. Consequently the report also contains an investigation of what data that is needed to be known about a vehicle to be able to do a satisfying estimation about this vehicle. The most vital problem is to estimate what velocity the vehicle will get in an uphill/downhill slope. A Simulink model is developed to simulate the function with two independent vehicles. Real tests are also performed to evaluate the velocity estimation part of the function.

Abstract:

Les constructeurs automobiles proposent de plus en plus des systèmes d'aide à la conduite, en anglais Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), utilisant des caméras et des algorithmes de traitement d'images. Pour embarquer des applications ADAS, les fondeurs proposent des architectures embarquées hétérogènes. Ces Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) intègrent sur la même puce plusieurs processeurs de différentes natures. Cependant, avec leur complexité croissante, il devient de plus en plus difficile pour un industriel automobile de choisir un SoC qui puisse exécuter une application ADAS donnée avec le respect des contraintes temps-réel. De plus le caractère hétérogène amène une nouvelle problématique : la répartition des charges de calcul entre les différents processeurs du même SoC.Pour répondre à cette problématique, nous avons défini au cours de cette thèse une méthodologie globale de l’analyse de l'embarquabilité d'algorithmes de traitement d'images pour une exécution temps-réel. Cette méthodologie permet d'estimer l'embarquabilité d'un algorithme de traitement d'images sur plusieurs SoCs hétérogènes en explorant automatiquement les différentes répartitions de charge de calcul possibles. Elle est basée sur trois contributions majeures : la modélisation d'un algorithme et ses contraintes temps-réel, la caractérisation d'un SoC hétérogène et une méthode de prédiction de performances multi-architecture
Car manufacturers increasingly provide Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) based on cameras and image processing algorithms. To embed ADAS applications, semiconductor companies propose heterogeneous architectures. These Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) are composed of several processors with different capabilities on the same chip. However, with the increasing complexity of such systems, it becomes more and more difficult for an automotive actor to chose a SoC which can execute a given ADAS application while meeting real-time constraints. In addition, embedding algorithms on this type of hardware is not trivial: one needs to determine how to spread the computational load between the different processors, in others words the mapping of the computational load.In response to this issue, we defined during this thesis a global methodology to study the embeddability of image processing algorithms for real-time execution. This methodology predicts the embeddability of a given image processing algorithm on several heterogeneous SoCs by automatically exploring the possible mapping. It is based on three major contributions: the modeling of an algorithm and its real-time constraints, the characterization of a heterogeneous SoC, and a performance prediction approach which can address different types of architectures

Abstract:

The present thesis is focused on the development of a predictive control strategy oriented to battery thermal management for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). The basic principle of the strategy is to reduce as much as possible battery energy usage related to power request from the respective cooling circuit actuators. At this end, a thermo-hydraulic model of the in-vehicle battery cooling circuit has been developed in AMESim environment. Then, it has been implemented in an already existing Simulink vehicle model, which includes components analytical models and control strategies. The predictive aspect of the novel strategy is related to the evaluation of battery temperature over the electronic horizon on the base of input signals such as vehicle speed and road slope profile. As a consequence of temperature prediction, the developed strategy is able to establish in an energy-efficient way if cooling power is either required or not. Results highlight the advantages of applying the predictive strategy instead of a rule-based one, which is on-board implemented in each vehicle. It is shown that major energetic benefits, related to the extension of the all-electric range and the reduction of fuel consumption, take place at middle environmental temperatures, at which battery cooling power request can seriously make the difference on its drain rate. Therefore, project goal has been reached and the results can be considered an interesting starting point for further development and enhancing of predictive control strategies.

Abstract:

This master’s thesis deals with the design of systems for data collection which describe the driver’s behaviour in a car. This data is used to detect risky behaviour that the driver may commit due to inattention caused by the use of either lower or higher levels of driving automation. The thesis first describes the existing safety systems, especially in relation to the driver. Then it deals with the design of the necessary measuring scenes and the implementation of new systems based on the processing of input images which are obtained via the Intel RealSense D415 stereo camera. Every system is tested in a real vehicle environment. In the end the thesis contains an evaluation regarding the detection reliability of the created algorithms, it considers their shortcomings and possible improvements.

Abstract:

Autonomous vehicles is going to be a part of future transport of goods and people, but to make them usable in unpredictable situations presented in real traffic, there is need for backup systems for manual vehicle control. Teleoperation, where a driver controls the vehicle remotely, has been proposed as a backup system for this purpose. This technique is highly dependent on stable and large wireless network bandwidth to transmit high resolution video from the vehicle to the driver station. Reduction in network bandwidth, resulting in a reduced level of detail in the video stream, could lead to a higher risk of driver error. This thesis is a two part investigation. One part looking into whether lower resolution and increased lossy compression of video at the operator station affects driver performance and safety of operation during teleoperation. The second part covers implementation of two vision-based driver assistance systems, one which detects and highlights vehicles and pedestrians in front of the vehicle, and one which detects and highlights lane markings. A driving test was performed at an asphalt track with white markings for track boundaries, with different levels of video quality presented to the driver. Reducing video quality did have a negative effect on lap time and increased the number of times the track boundary was crossed. The test was performed with a small group of drivers, so the results can only be interpreted as an indication toward that video quality can negatively affect driver performance. The vision-based driver assistance systems for detection and marking of pedestrians was tested by showing a test group pre-recorded video shot in traffic, and them reacting when they saw a pedestrian about to cross the road. The results of a one-way analysis of variance, shows that video quality significantly affect reaction times, with p = 0.02181 at significance level α = 0.05. A two-way analysis of variance was also conducted, accounting for video quality, the use of a driver assistance system marking pedestrians, and the interaction between these two. The results point to that marking pedestrians in very low quality video does help reduce reaction times, but the results are not significant at significance level α = 0.05.

Abstract:

La thèse porte sur la détection d’objets à partir d’une caméra embarquée sur un véhicule mobile en exploitant l’approche monoculaire « c-vélocité ». Cette méthode s’inspire de la méthode appelée « v-disparité » utilisée en stéréovision : toutes deux ont pour objectif la détection d’objets en les approximant par des plans d’orientations différentes, ce qui permet d’éviter, en monoculaire, d’estimer la profondeur. Ces deux approches, monoculaires et binoculaires, permettent de transformer le problème complexe de la détection d’objets en un problème plus simple de détection de formes paramétriques simples (droites, paraboles) dans un nouvel espace de représentation où la détection peut être réalisée à l’aide d’une transformée de Hough. La « c-vélocité », pour être efficace, requiert un calcul assez précis du flot optique et une bonne estimation de la position du Foyer d’expansion (FOE). Dans cette thèse, nous avons étudié les approches existantes de calcul de flot optique et sommes arrivés à la conclusion qu’aucune n’est vraiment performante notamment sur les régions homogènes telle que la route dans les scènes qui correspondent à l’application que nous visons à savoir : les véhicules intelligents. Par ailleurs, les méthodes d’estimation du flot optique peinent également à fournir une bonne estimation dans le cas de déplacement importants dans les régions proches de la caméra. Nous proposons dans cette thèse d’exploiter à la fois un modèle 3D de la scène et une estimation approximative de la vitesse du véhicule à partir d’autres capteurs intégrés. L’utilisation de connaissances a priori permet de compenser le flot dominant pour faciliter l’estimation de la partie résiduelle par une approche classique. Par ailleurs, trois approches différentes sont proposées pour détecter le foyer d’expansion. Parmi elles, nous proposons une méthode novatrice permettant d’estimer le FOE en exploitant la norme du flot et la structure de la scène à partir d’un processus « c-vélocité » inversé. En plus d’améliorer ces étapes préliminaires, nous proposons aussi l’optimisation et l’accélération de l’algorithme « c-vélocité » par une implémentation multithread. Enfin, nous proposons une modification de l’approche c-vélocité d’origine afin d’anticiper une éventuelle coopération mouvement/stéréo, proposée en perspective, à travers un jumelage avec la v-disparité
This thesis is based on the detection of objects from an onboard moving camera by exploiting the monocular approach "c-velocity". This method is inspired by the method called "v-disparity" used in stereovision: both methods aim at detecting objects by approximating objects into plans with different orientations. Such approximation can avoid to estimate the depth in monocularvision. These two approaches, monocular and binocular, allow to transform the complex objet détection problem into a more simple parametric forms (eg. lines) detection in a new space, where these formes can be easily extracted using Hough Transform.The “c-velocity”, to make it effective, requires an accurate computation of optical flow and a good estimation of the focus of expansion (FOE) location. Therefore, we have studied the existing approaches of optical flow estimation and arrived at the conclusion that none of them is really powerful especially on the homogeneous regions such as road surface. In addition, the optical flow estimation methods also struggle to provide a good estimate in the case of huge displacement in the areas close to the camera. We propose in this thesis to exploit both a 3D model of the scene and a rough estimate about the vehicle speed from other integrated sensors. Using a priori knowledge allows to compensate the dominant optical flow and to facilitate the estimation of the rest part by a classical approach. In addition, three different approaches are proposed to detect the focus of expansion. Among them, we propose a novel method for estimating FOE by leveraging the flow norm and the scene structure from an inverse “c-velocity“ process. In addition to improve these preliminary steps, we also propose an acceleration and optimization of the “c-velocity“ algorithm by a multi-thread implementation. Finally, we propose a modification to the original “c-velocity“ approach in order to anticipate a possible cooperation motion/stereo, proposed in perspective, with the “v-disparity“ approach

Abstract:

Since the origin of the automotive at the end of the 19th century, the traffic flow is subject to a constant increase and, unfortunately, involves a constant augmentation of road accidents. Research studies such as the one performed by the World Health Organization, show alarming results about the number of injuries and fatalities due to these accidents. To reduce these figures, a solution lies in the development of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) which purpose is to help the Driver in his driving task. This research topic has been shown to be very dynamic and productive during the last decades. Indeed, several systems such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Parking Manoeuvre Assistant (PMA), Dynamic Bending Light (DBL), etc. are yet market available and their benefits are now recognized by most of the drivers. This first generation of ADAS are usually designed to perform a specific task in the Controller/Vehicle/Environment framework and thus requires only microscopic information, so requires sensors which are only giving local information about an element of the Vehicle or of its Environment. On the opposite, the next ADAS generation will have to consider more aspects, i.e. information and constraints about of the Vehicle and its Environment. Indeed, as they are designed to perform more complex tasks, they need a global view about the road context and the Vehicle configuration. For example, longitudinal control requires information about the road configuration (straight line, bend, etc.) and about the eventual presence of other road users (vehicles, trucks, etc.) to determine the best reference speed.

Abstract:

Cette thèse en Cognitique se focalise sur la « Conception Centrée sur l'Humain » (Human Centred Design) de futures assistances à la conduite automobile, adaptées aux conducteurs âgés (ou Elderly Adapted Driver Assistance Systems).Pour ce faire, la démarche proposée repose sur une approche et une méthodologie pluridisciplinaire. Sur le plan ergonomique, il s'agit de mieux connaître les spécificitésde la population des conducteurs âgés, dans le but d'identifier des difficultés et des besoins en assistance. A cette fin, 76 conducteurs âgés (de 70 à 87 ans) ont conduitun véhicule instrumenté, immergé dans le trafic. Le corpus de données comporte2100 kilomètres de conduite et 1400 situations de conduite autoévaluées par lesconducteurs, complétés par 6 Focus Group (30 conducteurs âgés).Le second volet, relevant d'une démarche d'Ingénierie Cognitive, vise à concevoir et développer des fonctions de « monitorage » à partir du corpus de données. L'objectif est de disposer de modèles et de fonctions d'analyse temps-réel capables (1) de superviser l'activité de conduite des conducteurs âgés (2) en regard du contexte ou des risques situationnels, afin de (3) diagnostiquer des difficultés ou erreurs de conduite, à des fins d’adaptativité des assistances. Des fonctions de monitorage en lien avec les contrôles de base du véhicule (gestion de la vitesse, positionnement dans la voie et la gestion de l'espace inter-véhiculaire avant) sont développées. Sur cette base, des fonctions de monitorage plus intégrées pour l'aide aux franchissements d'intersections (Tourne-à-Gauche) et l'assistance à l'insertion sur voies rapides (et au changement de voie) sont également proposées
This thesis in Cognitics presents a Human Centered Design approach for thedevelopment of future driving assistance systems dedicated to elderly drivers orElderly Adapted Driver Assistance Systems (E-ADAS).To do so, this work relies on a multi-disciplinary approach for data collection andanalysis. Regarding Ergonomics, the aim is to better understand the specificrequirements of this population in order to identify their actual difficulties and actualneeds of assistance. In this frame, 76 drivers (aged from 70 to 87 years old) took partto an on-the-road experiment, driving an instrumented car. The dataset includes2100 km of ecological driving data and 1400 auto-evaluated driving situations,completed by 6 Focus Groups (involving 30 elderly drivers).The second part of this research, relying on Cognitive Engineering, explores thedesign and implementation of monitoring functions based on the aforementioneddataset. The objective is to have real-time models and analytical functions, able to:(1) supervise the driving activity as realized by an elderly driver, (2) taking in toconsideration the driving context or situational risks (3) in order to detect difficulties ordriving errors. Beyond this thesis, these diagnostics will have to be integrated inassistive systems to better adapt their support to the specific needs of elderly drivers.Specific monitoring functions related to basic vehicle control (speed management,lane positioning and headway regulation) are presented. Based on these results,integrated monitoring functions for intersection crossings in Left-Turn manoeuver,highway merging assistance, and, more broadly, lane change assistance areintroduced

Abstract:

Le monde industriel, et en particulier l’industrie automobile, cherche à représenter au mieux le réel pour concevoir des outils et produits les plus adaptés aux enjeux et marchés actuels. Dans cette optique, le groupe Volvo a développé de puissants outils pour la simulation de la dynamique des véhicules industriels. Ces outils permettent notamment l’optimisation de composants véhicules ou de stratégies de contrôle. De nombreuses activités de recherche portent sur des technologies innovantes permettant de réduire la consommation des véhicules industriels et d’accroitre la sécurité de leurs usages dans différents environnements. En particulier, le développement des systèmes d’aide à la conduite automobile ITS et ADAS. Afin de pouvoir développer ces systèmes, un environnement de simulation permettant de prendre en compte les différents facteurs pouvant influencer la conduite d’un véhicule doit être mis en place. L’étude se concentre sur la simulation de l’environnement du véhicule et des interactions entre le véhicule et son environnement direct, i.e. le véhicule qui le précède. Les interactions entre le véhicule étudié et le véhicule qui le précède sont modélisées à l’aide de modèles mathématiques, nommés lois de poursuites. De nombreux modèles existent dans la littérature mais peu concernent le comportement des véhicules industriels. Une étude détaillée de ces modèles et des méthodes de calage est réalisée. L’environnement du véhicule peut être représenté par deux catégories de paramètres : statiques (intersections, nombre de voies…) et dynamiques (état du réseau). A partir d’une base de données de trajets usuels, ces paramètres sont calculés, puis utilisés pour générer de manière automatisée des scénarios de simulation réalistes
The industrial world, and in particular the automotive industry, is seeking to best represent the real world in order to design tools and products that are best adapted to current challenges and markets, by reducing development times and prototyping costs. With this in mind, the Volvo Group has developed powerful tools to simulate the dynamics of industrial vehicles. These tools allow the optimization of vehicle components or control strategies. Many research activities focus on innovative technologies to reduce the consumption of industrial vehicles and increase the safety of their use in different environments. Particularly, the development of ITS and ADAS is booming. In order to be able to develop these systems, a simulation environment must be set up to take into account the various factors that can influence the driving of a vehicle. The work focuses on simulating the vehicle environment and the interactions between the vehicle and its direct environment, i.e. the vehicle in front of it. The interactions between the vehicle under study and the vehicle in front of it are modelled using mathematical models, called car-following models. Many models exist in the literature, but few of them deals specifically with heavy duty vehicles. A specific focus on these models and their calibration is realized. The vehicle environment can be represented by two categories of parameters: static (intersections, number of lanes) and dynamic parameters (state of the network). From a database of usuals roads, these parameters are computed, then, they are used to automatically generate realist traffic simulation scenarios

Abstract:

In recent years, the field of distributed processing, distributed systems, has undergone great change, and has been an area attracting tremendous research and development efforts. This thesis explores the various current methodologies for designing, developing and implementing distributed systems using the Ada programming language, and goes on to implement a simulation of a distributed store system using the "virtual node" design approach. After a brief introduction on distributed systems in general, an investigation of the basic issues and problems involved in distributing Ada programs coupled with an analysis and comparison of various approaches to developing distributed Ada systems is carried out. It is shown that one of the critical problems of Ada in a distributed environment is its implicit assumption of a single memory processor. A simulation of a distributed system (store system) is carried out using the virtual node method of developing distributed Ada systems. The various stages of this design method including interface task specification are stepped through. A sample run of the. system is given, including the customer file, stock file data and the monitored output of the system.

Abstract:

Annually, road accidents cause more than 1.2 million deaths, 50 million injuries, and US$ 518 billion of economic cost globally. About 90% of the accidents occur due to human errors such as bad awareness, distraction, drowsiness, low training, fatigue etc. These human errors can be minimized by using advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) which actively monitors the driving environment and alerts a driver to the forthcoming danger, for example adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, parking assistance, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, driver drowsiness detection, and traffic sign recognition etc. Unfortunately, these systems are provided only with modern luxury cars because they are very expensive due to numerous sensors employed. Therefore, camera-based ADAS are being seen as an alternative because a camera has much lower cost, higher availability, can be used for multiple applications and ability to integrate with other systems. Aiming at developing a camera-based ADAS, we have performed an ethnographic study of drivers in order to find what information about the surroundings could be helpful for drivers to avoid accidents. Our study shows that information on speed, distance, relative position, direction, and size & type of the nearby vehicles & other objects would be useful for drivers, and sufficient for implementing most of the ADAS functions. After considering available technologies such as radar, sonar, lidar, GPS, and video-based analysis, we conclude that video-based analysis is the fittest technology that provides all the essential support required for implementing ADAS functions at very low cost. Finally, we have proposed a Smart-Dashboard system that puts technologies – such as camera, digital image processor, and thin display – into a smart system to offer all advanced driver assistance functions. A basic prototype, demonstrating three functions only, is implemented in order to show that a full-fledged camera-based ADAS can be implemented using MATLAB.

Abstract:

Technology pervades our daily living, and is increasingly integrated into the vehicle – directly affecting driving. On the one hand technology such as cell phones provoke driver distraction and inattention, whereas, on the other hand, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) support the driver in the driving task. The question is, can a driver successfully adapt to the ever growing technological advancements? Thus, this thesis aimed at improving safe driver behaviour by understanding the underlying psychological mechanisms that influence behavioural change. Previous research on ADAS and human attention was reviewed in the context of driver behavioural adaptation. Empirical data from multiple data sources such as driving performance data, visual behaviour data, video footage, and subjective data were analyzed to evaluate two ADAS (a brake-capacity forward collision warning system, B-FCW, and a Visual Distraction Alert System, VDA-System). Results from a field operational test (EuroFOT) showed that brake-capacity forward collision warnings lead to immediate attention allocation toward the roadway and drivers hit the brake, yet change their initial response later on by directing their eyes toward the warning source in the instrument cluster. A similar phenomenon of drivers changing initial behaviour was found in a driving simulator study assessing a Visual Distraction Alert System. Analysis showed that a Visual Distraction Alert System successfully assists drivers in redirecting attention to the relevant aspects of the driving task and significantly improves driving performance. The effects are discussed with regard to behavioural adaptation, calibration and system acceptance. Based on these findings a novel assessment for human-machine-interaction (HMI) of ADAS was introduced. Based on the contribution of this thesis and previous best-practices, a holistic safety management model on accident prevention strategies (before, during and after driving) was developed. The DO-IT BEST Feedback Model is a comprehensive feedback strategy including driver feedback at various time scales and therefore is expected to provide an added benefit for distraction and inattention prevention. The central contributions of this work are to advance research in the field of traffic psychology in the context of attention allocation strategies, and to improve the ability to design future safety systems with the human factor in focus. The thesis consists of the introduction of the conducted research, six publications in full text and a comprehensive conclusion of the publications. In brief this thesis intends to improve safe driver behaviour by understanding the underlying psychological mechanisms that influence behavioral change, thereby resulting in more attention allocation to the forward roadway, and improved vehicle control
Technologie durchdringt unser tägliches Leben und ist zunehmend integriert in Fahrzeuge – das Resultat sind veränderte Anforderungen an Fahrzeugführer. Einerseits besteht die Gefahr, dass er durch die Bedienung innovativer Technologien (z.B. Mobiltelefone) unachtsam wird und visuell abgelenkt ist, andererseits kann die Nutzung von Fahrerassistenzsystemen die den Fahrer bei der Fahraufgabe unterstützten einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Fahrsicherheit bieten. Die steigende Aktualität beider Problematiken wirft die Frage auf: "Kann der Fahrer sich erfolgreich dem ständig wachsenden technologischen Fortschritt anpassen?" Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist der Erkenntnisgewinn zur Verbesserung des Fahrverhaltens indem der Verhaltensänderungen zugrunde liegende psychologische Mechanismen untersucht werden. Eine Vielzahl an Literatur zu Fahrerassistenzsystemen und Aufmerksamkeitsverteilung wurde vor dem Hintergrund von Verhaltensanpassung der Fahrer recherchiert. Daten mehrerer empirischer Quellen, z. B. Fahrverhalten, Blickbewegungen, Videomitschnitte und subjektive Daten dienten zur Datenauswertung zweier Fahrerassistenzsysteme. Im Rahmen einer Feldstudie zeigte sich, dass Bremskapazitäts-Kollisionswarnungen zur sofortigen visuellen Aufmerksamkeitsverteilung zur Fahrbahn und zum Bremsen führen, Fahrer allerdings ihre Reaktion anpassen indem sie zur Warnanzeige im Kombinationsinstrument schauen. Ein anderes Phänomen der Verhaltensanpassung wurde in einer Fahrsimulatorstudie zur Untersuchung eines Ablenkungswarnsystems, das dabei hilft die Blicke von Autofahrern stets auf die Straße zu lenken, gefunden. Diese Ergebnisse weisen nach, dass solch ein System unterstützt achtsamer zu sein und sicherer zu fahren. Die vorliegenden Befunde wurden im Zusammenhang zu Vorbefunden zur Verhaltensanpassung zu Fahrerassistenzsystemen, Fahrerkalibrierung und Akzeptanz von Technik diskutiert. Basierend auf den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen wurde ein neues Vorgehen zur Untersuchung von Mensch- Maschine-Interaktion eingeführt. Aufbauend auf den Resultaten der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde ein ganzheitliches Modell zur Fahrsicherheit und -management, das DO-IT BEST Feedback Modell, entwickelt. Das Modell bezieht sich auf multitemporale Fahrer-Feedbackstrategien und soll somit einen entscheidenen Beitrag zur Verkehrssicherheit und dem Umgang mit Fahrerunaufmerksamkeit leisten. Die zentralen Beiträge dieser Arbeit sind die Gewinnung neuer Erkenntnisse in den Bereichen der Angewandten Psychologie und der Verkehrspsychologie in den Kontexten der Aufmerksamkeitsverteilung und der Verbesserung der Gestaltung von Fahrerassistenzsystemen fokusierend auf den Bediener. Die Dissertation besteht aus einem Einleitungsteil, drei empirischen Beiträgen sowie drei Buchkapiteln und einer abschliessenden Zusammenfassung

Abstract:

La mise en oeuvre de systèmes avancés d’aide à la conduite (ADAS) basée vision, est une tâche complexe et difficile surtout d’un point de vue robustesse en conditions d’utilisation réelles. Une des fonctionnalités des ADAS vise à percevoir et à comprendre l’environnement de l’ego-véhicule et à fournir l’assistance nécessaire au conducteur pour réagir à des situations d’urgence. Dans cette thèse, nous nous concentrons sur la détection et la reconnaissance des objets mobiles car leur dynamique les rend plus imprévisibles et donc plus dangereux. La détection de ces objets, l’estimation de leurs positions et la reconnaissance de leurs catégories sont importants pour les ADAS et la navigation autonome. Par conséquent, nous proposons de construire un système complet pour la détection des objets en mouvement et la reconnaissance basées uniquement sur les capteurs de vision. L’approche proposée permet de détecter tout type d’objets en mouvement en fonction de deux méthodes complémentaires. L’idée de base est de détecter les objets mobiles par stéréovision en utilisant l’image résiduelle du mouvement apparent (RIMF). La RIMF est définie comme l’image du mouvement apparent causé par le déplacement des objets mobiles lorsque le mouvement de la caméra a été compensé. Afin de détecter tous les mouvements de manière robuste et de supprimer les faux positifs, les incertitudes liées à l’estimation de l’ego-mouvement et au calcul de la disparité doivent être considérées. Les étapes principales de l’algorithme sont les suivantes : premièrement, la pose relative de la caméra est estimée en minimisant la somme des erreurs de reprojection des points d’intérêt appariées et la matrice de covariance est alors calculée en utilisant une stratégie de propagation d’erreurs de premier ordre. Ensuite, une vraisemblance de mouvement est calculée pour chaque pixel en propageant les incertitudes sur l’ego-mouvement et la disparité par rapport à la RIMF. Enfin, la probabilité de mouvement et le gradient de profondeur sont utilisés pour minimiser une fonctionnelle d’énergie de manière à obtenir la segmentation des objets en mouvement. Dans le même temps, les boîtes englobantes des objets mobiles sont générées en utilisant la carte des U-disparités. Après avoir obtenu la boîte englobante de l’objet en mouvement, nous cherchons à reconnaître si l’objet en mouvement est un piéton ou pas. Par rapport aux algorithmes de classification supervisée (comme le boosting et les SVM) qui nécessitent un grand nombre d’exemples d’apprentissage étiquetés, notre algorithme de boosting semi-supervisé est entraîné avec seulement quelques exemples étiquetés et de nombreuses instances non étiquetées. Les exemples étiquetés sont d’abord utilisés pour estimer les probabilités d’appartenance aux classes des exemples non étiquetés, et ce à l’aide de modèles de mélange de gaussiennes après une étape de réduction de dimension réalisée par une analyse en composantes principales. Ensuite, nous appliquons une stratégie de boosting sur des arbres de décision entraînés à l’aide des instances étiquetées de manière probabiliste. Les performances de la méthode proposée sont évaluées sur plusieurs jeux de données de classification de référence, ainsi que sur la détection et la reconnaissance des piétons. Enfin, l’algorithme de détection et de reconnaissances des objets en mouvement est testé sur les images du jeu de données KITTI et les résultats expérimentaux montrent que les méthodes proposées obtiennent de bonnes performances dans différents scénarios de conduite en milieu urbain
Vision-based Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is a complex and challenging task in real world traffic scenarios. The ADAS aims at perceiving andunderstanding the surrounding environment of the ego-vehicle and providing necessary assistance for the drivers if facing some emergencies. In this thesis, we will only focus on detecting and recognizing moving objects because they are more dangerous than static ones. Detecting these objects, estimating their positions and recognizing their categories are significantly important for ADAS and autonomous navigation. Consequently, we propose to build a complete system for moving objects detection and recognition based on vision sensors. The proposed approach can detect any kinds of moving objects based on two adjacent frames only. The core idea is to detect the moving pixels by using the Residual Image Motion Flow (RIMF). The RIMF is defined as the residual image changes caused by moving objects with compensated camera motion. In order to robustly detect all kinds of motion and remove false positive detections, uncertainties in the ego-motion estimation and disparity computation should also be considered. The main steps of our general algorithm are the following : first, the relative camera pose is estimated by minimizing the sum of the reprojection errors of matched features and its covariance matrix is also calculated by using a first-order errors propagation strategy. Next, a motion likelihood for each pixel is obtained by propagating the uncertainties of the ego-motion and disparity to the RIMF. Finally, the motion likelihood and the depth gradient are used in a graph-cut-based approach to obtain the moving objects segmentation. At the same time, the bounding boxes of moving object are generated based on the U-disparity map. After obtaining the bounding boxes of the moving object, we want to classify the moving objects as a pedestrian or not. Compared to supervised classification algorithms (such as boosting and SVM) which require a large amount of labeled training instances, our proposed semi-supervised boosting algorithm is trained with only a few labeled instances and many unlabeled instances. Firstly labeled instances are used to estimate the probabilistic class labels of the unlabeled instances using Gaussian Mixture Models after a dimension reduction step performed via Principal Component Analysis. Then, we apply a boosting strategy on decision stumps trained using the calculated soft labeled instances. The performances of the proposed method are evaluated on several state-of-the-art classification datasets, as well as on a pedestrian detection and recognition problem.Finally, both our moving objects detection and recognition algorithms are tested on the public images dataset KITTI and the experimental results show that the proposed methods can achieve good performances in different urban scenarios

Abstract:

This research project took part in the SENA project (Autonomous Embedded Navigation System), which was developed at the Mobile Robotics Lab of the Mechatronics Group at the Engineering School of São Carlos, University of São Paulo (EESC - USP) in collaboration with the São Carlos Institute of Physics. Aiming for an autonomous behavior in the prototype vehicle this dissertation focused on deploying some machine learning algorithms to support its perception. These algorithms enabled the vehicle to execute articial-intelligence tasks, such as prediction and memory retrieval for object classication. Even though in autonomous navigation there are several perception, cognition and actuation tasks, this dissertation focused only on perception, which provides the vehicle control system with information about the environment around it. The most basic information to be provided is the existence of objects (obstacles) around the vehicle. In formation about the sort of object it is also provided, i.e., its classication among cars, pedestrians, stakes, the road, as well as the scale of such an object and its position in front of the vehicle. The environmental data was acquired by using a camera and a Velodyne LiDAR. A ceiling analysis of the object detection pipeline was used to simulate the proposed methodology. As a result, this analysis estimated that processing specic regions in the PDF Compressor Pro xii image (i.e., Regions of Interest, or RoIs), where it is more likely to nd an object, would be the best way of improving our recognition system, a process called image normalization. Consequently, experimental results in a data-fusion approach using laser data and images, in which RoIs were found using the LiDAR data, showed that the fusion approach can provide better object detection and classication compared with the use of either camera or LiDAR alone. Deploying a data-fusion classication using RoI method can be executed at 6 Hz and with 100% precision in pedestrians and 92.3% in cars. The fusion also enabled road estimation even when there were shadows and colored road markers in the image. Vision-based classier supported by LiDAR data provided a good solution for multi-scale object detection and even for the non-uniform illumination problem.
Este projeto de pesquisa fez parte do projeto SENA (Sistema Embarcado de Navegação Autônoma), ele foi realizado no Laboratório de Robótica Móvel do Grupo de Mecatrônica da Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos (EESC), em colaboração com o Instituto de Física de São Carlos (IFSC). A grande motivação do projeto SENA é o desenvolvimento de tecnologias assistidas e autônomas que possam atender às necessidades de diferentes tipos de motoristas (inexperientes, idosos, portadores de limitações, etc.). Vislumbra-se que a aplicação em larga escala desse tipo de tecnologia, em um futuro próximo, certamente reduzirá drasticamente a quantidade de pessoas feridas e mortas em acidentes automobilísticos em estradas e em ambientes urbanos. Nesse contexto, este projeto de pesquisa teve como objetivo proporcionar informações relativas ao ambiente ao redor do veículo, ao sistema de controle e de tomada de decisão embarcado no veículo autônomo. As informações mais básicas fornecidas são as posições dos objetos (obstáculos) ao redor do veículo; além disso, informações como o tipo de objeto (ou seja, sua classificação em carros, pedestres, postes e a própria rua mesma), assim como o tamanho deles. Os dados do ambiente são adquiridos através do emprego de uma câmera e um Velodyne LiDAR. Um estudo do tipo ceiling foi usado para simular a metodologia da detecção dos obstáculos. Estima-se que , após realizar o estudo, que analisar regiões especificas da imagem, chamadas de regiões de interesse, onde é mais provável encontrar um obstáculo, é o melhor jeito de melhorar o sistema de reconhecimento. Observou-se na implementação da fusão dos sensores que encontrar regiões de interesse usando LiDAR, e classificá-las usando visão artificial fornece um melhor resultado na hora de compará-lo com os resultados ao usar apenas câmera ou LiDAR. Obteve-se uma classificação com precisão de 100% para pedestres e 92,3% para carros, rodando em uma frequência de 6 Hz. A fusão dos sensores também forneceu um método para estimar a estrada mesmo quando esta tinha sombra ou faixas de cor. Em geral, a classificação baseada em visão artificial e LiDAR mostrou uma solução para detecção de objetos em várias escalas e mesmo para o problema da iluminação não uniforme do ambiente.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 26-29, 1992 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California
Flight testing has dramatically changed from the freewheeling “right-stuff” aviation days of the 40s and 50s. The computer age was just beginning. There was essentially no access to data other than voice and radar tracking information on the ground to monitor the flights. The advent of reliable and effective ground systems for real-time safety monitoring was still in the future. Unfortunately, the lack of these systems played a contributing role in the large number of accidents which killed or injured a significant number of our nation’s pioneer test pilots. As technology evolved, more real-time access to critical safety and performance parameters became available to our flight test engineers on the ground. This technology included sophisticated aircraft instrumentation of key measurements, improved telemetry transmission and reception, and finally, enhanced real-time processing and display of the test data to the engineers. One advantage achieved through these technological advances in testing was a tremendous improvement in flight safety. Although accidents can still happen, today they are very rare thanks, in part, to the ability to accurately monitor and control a test program on the ground. The Advanced Data Acquisition and Processing Systems (ADAPS) program is specifically tailored to meet the needs of test engineers on the ground at the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) Edwards AFB, California, to monitor a flight through the use of state-of-the-art data acquisition, processing, and display technologies. This paper provides an overall perspective of the requirements for data processing which ADAPS addresses. In addition, the ADAPS design concept, architecture, and development plan are discussed. The purpose is to describe how the ADAPS development effort meets the flight test end user needs of the 1990s. The paper concludes with a section on how we can apply the ADAPS concepts and technology to help equip the multiple Department of Defense (DoD) test centers with a common test data processing capability.

Abstract:

Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) was widely learned nowadays. As crucial parts of ADAS, lane markings detection, as well as other objects detection, have become more popular than before. However, most methods implemented in such areas cannot perfectly balance the performance of accuracy versus efficiency, and the mainstream methods (e.g. Machine Learning) suffer from several limitations which can hardly break the wall between partial autonomous and fully autonomous driving. This thesis proposed a real-time lane marking detection framework for ADAS, which included 4-extreme points set descriptor and a rule-based cascade classifier. By analyzing the behavior of lane markings on the road surface, a characteristic of markings was discovered, i.e., standard markings can sustain their shape in the perpendicular plane of the driving direction. By employing this feature, a 4-extreme points set descriptor was applied to describe the shape of each marking first. Specifically, after processing Maximally Stable Extremal Region (MSER) and Hough transforms on a 2-D image, several contours of interest are obtained. A bounding box, with borders parallel to the image coordinate, intersected with each contour at 4 points in the edge, which was named 4-extreme points set. Afterward, to verify consistency of each contour and standard marking, some rules abstracted from construction manual are employed such as Area Filter, Colour Filter, Relative Location Filter, Convex Filter, etc. To reduce the errors caused by changes in driving direction, an enhanced module was then introduced. By tracking the vanishing point as well as other key points of the road net, a method for 3-D reconstruction, with respect to the optical axis between vanishing point and camera center, is possible. The principle of such algorithm was exhibited, and a description about how to obtain the depth information from this model was also provided. Among all of these processes, a key-point based classification method is the main contribution of this paper because of its function in eliminating the deformation of the object caused by inverse perspective mapping. Several experiments were conducted in highway and urban roads in Ottawa. The detection rate of the markings by the proposed algorithm reached an average accuracy rate of 96.77% while F1 Score (harmonic mean of precision and recall) also attained a rate of 90.57%. In summary, the proposed method exhibited a state-of-the-art performance and represents a significant advancement of understanding.

Full text

Abstract:

The AdS/CFT (anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory) correspondence enables us to construct some strongly coupled quantum field theories by means of general relativity, and this approach provides new universality classes of condensed matter systems. In this dissertation, we will consider three systems.

The first system (chapter 2) is the Reissner-Nordstrom (RN)- AdS₄ black hole at finite temperature. By solving the Dirac equation for a massive, charged spinor in this background, we find that the fermions have a Rashba-like dispersion relation, and the Fermi surface has a spin-orbit helical locking structure. We use an improved WKB method that takes into account the spin-orbit coupling. The effective potential has a potential well with a barrier. The quasibound states in the potential well can tunnel through the barrier into the horizon, giving an imaginary part to the mode.

The second system (chapter 3) is the two-charge black hole in AdS₅ at zero temperature, which gives an analytically solvable model for the holographic Fermi surface. Descending from type IIB supergravity, the two-charge black hole describes N coincident D3-branes with equal, nonzero angular momenta in two of the three independent planes of rotation orthogonal to the D3-brane world volume. The IR geometry of the extremal two-charge black hole is conformal to AdS₂ × [special characters omitted], and the electric field vanishes in the near horizon limit.

The third system (chapter 4) is the extremal RN-AdS₅ black hole, in which quantum criticality is studied by solving the Klein-Gordon equation. The Green's function near quantum critical points is analytically obtained. There are two types of instability: the first one is triggered by a zero mode, and gives a hybridized critical point; the second one is triggered by the instability of the IR geometry, and gives a bifurcating critical point.

To meet the data processing challenges associated with these new weapons systems, the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) is developing the next generation of data acquisition and processing systems under the Advanced Data Acquisition and Processing Systems (ADAPS) Program. The ADAPS program has evolved into an approach that utilizes Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components as the foundation for Air Force enhancements to meet specific customer requirements. The ADAPS program has transitioned from concept exploration to engineering and manufacturing development (EMD). This includes the completion of a detailed requirements analysis and a overall system design.

Abstract:

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) aids the driver by providing information or automating the driving related tasks to improve driver comfort, reduce workload and improve safety. The vehicle senses its external environment using sensors, building a representation of the world used by the control systems. In on-road applications, the perception focuses on establishing the location of other road participants such as vehicles and pedestrians and identifying the road trajectory. Perception in the off-road environment is more complex, as the structure found in urban environments is absent. Off-road perception deals with the estimation of surface topography and surface type, which are the factors that will affect vehicle behaviour in unstructured environments. Off-road perception has seldom been explored in automotive context. For autonomous off-road driving, the perception solutions are primarily related to robotics and not directly applicable in the ADAS domain due to the different goals of unmanned autonomous systems, their complexity and the cost of employed sensors. Such applications consider only the impact of the terrain on the vehicle safety and progress but do not account for the driver comfort and assistance. This work addresses the problem of processing vision sensor data to extract the required information about the terrain. The main focus of this work is on the perception task with the constraints of automotive sensors and the requirements of the ADAS systems. By providing a semantic representation of the off-road environment including terrain attributes such as terrain type, description of the terrain topography and surface roughness, the perception system can cater for the requirements of the next generation of off-road ADAS proposed by Land Rover. Firstly, a novel and computationally efficient terrain recognition method was developed. The method facilitates recognition of low friction grass surfaces in real-time with high accuracy, by applying machine learning Support Vector Machine with illumination invariant normalised RGB colour descriptors. The proposed method was analysed and its performance was evaluated experimentally in off-road environments. Terrain recognition performance was evaluated on a variety of different surface types including grass, gravel and tarmac, showing high grass detection performance with accuracy of 97%. Secondly, a terrain geometry identification method was proposed which facilitates semantic representation of the terrain in terms of macro terrain features such as slopes, crest and ditches. The terrain geometry identification method processes 3D information reconstructed from stereo imagery and constructs a compact grid representation of the surface topography. This representation is further processed to extract object representation of slopes, ditches and crests. Thirdly, a novel method for surface roughness identification was proposed. The surface roughness descriptor is then further used to recommend a vehicle velocity, which will maintain passenger comfort. Surface roughness is described by the Power Spectral Density of the surface profile which correlates with the acceleration experienced by the vehicle. The surface roughness descriptor is then mapped onto vehicle speed recommendation so that the speed of the vehicle can be adapted in anticipation of the surface roughness. Terrain geometry and surface roughness identification performance were evaluated on a range of off-road courses with varying topology showing the capability of the system to correctly identify terrain features up to 20 m ahead of the vehicle and analyse surface roughness up to 15 m ahead of the vehicle. The speed was recommended correctly within +/- 5 kph. Further, the impact of the perception system on the speed adaptation was evaluated, showing the improvements in speed adaptation allowing for greater passenger comfort. The developed perception components facilitated the development of new off-road ADAS systems and were successfully applied in prototype vehicles. The proposed off-road ADAS are planned to be introduced in future generations of Land Rover products. The benefits of this research also included new Intellectual Property generated for Jaguar Land Rover. In the wider context, the enhanced off-road perception capability may facilitate further development of off-road automated driving and off-road autonomy within the constraints of the automotive platform.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A new task scheduler for the Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) of the Stellenbosch University Satellite (SUNSAT) has been designed and tested on a personal computer. This new scheduler is capable of uploading new control tasks, or changing existing control tasks, on an individual basis. This is an improvement on the current ADCS task scheduler, where the control tasks are hard-coded in the scheduler, requiring the entire software image of the scheduler to be uploaded if a new task is to be added, or an existing task is to be changed. The new scheduler was developed using the Java programming language. The Java ClassLoader class is used to dynamically load tasks to a linked list. The scheduler thread runs through this linked list and schedules all the tasks that have become schedulable. New tasks can be added to the list without stopping the scheduler. The new scheduler has been successfully implemented on a personal computer, laying a good foundation for implementation in an embedded environment based on processors such as the T800 Transputer of the ADCS or the 80386 processor of the secondary onboard computer (OBC2).

Abstract:

While vehicle technology is rapidly advanced, advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) stays in focus. However, all of these growing automotive applications are driving up the bandwidth requirements, therefore vehicle networks require higher bandwidth and more deterministic real-time guarantees than before.Switched Ethernet is widely used for all kinds of applications, and it gradually moves into the automotive domain. The new specification of the IEEE 802.1 Audio/Video Bridging (AVB) standard provides the QoS features needed for ADAS data streaming.In this work, we study and analyse Ethernet-based invehicle communication of both legacy Ethernet and AVB Ethernet through a simulation approach to verify the automotive network performance. Furthermore, a system engineering approach is used to achieve a more model-based design of simulation and developing prototypes in the future.
Samtidigt som fordonsteknologin ökar snabbt, är det system för avancerad förarassistans (advanced driver assistance systems, ADAS) som står i fokus. Dessa ökande fordonsapplikationer driver på bandbreddskraven, och därför kräver fordonsnätverken högre bandbredd och mer determinisktiska realtidskrav än tidigare.Switchat nätverk (Switched Ethernet) används i alla möjliga applikationer och flyttar gradvis in i fordonsdomänen. Den nya specificationen av standarden IEEE 802.1 Audio/Video Bridging (AVB) tillhandahåller QoS (Quality of Service) funktioner för ADAS dataöverföring.I den här avhandlingen undersöks och analyseras Ethernetbaserad fordonskommunikation av både vanligt nätverk (Ethernet) och AVB Ethernet genom simulering för att verifiera nätverksprestandan för fordonsnätverket i fråga. En systemingenjörsinriktning har använts för att skapa en mer modell-baserad design av simuleringen, som även kan användas för att utveckla prototyper i framtiden.
