Perception, Deep Learning, and ADAS Workflows for Formula Student Driverless Vehicles

Overview

This webinar covers perception workflows for Formula Student Driverless vehicles, including cone detection using images and point clouds in MATLAB, data labeling, model training, and GPU deployment.  

This webinar focuses on the development and use of perception and deep learning workflows and models for the Perception Task at Formula Student competitions. This session will discuss the task of cone detection, starting with using Deep Learning to identify the cones from LIDAR data, and then move on to introducing the entire workflow from data labeling, model building, training, and model deployment to GPUs.  

This webinar will also provide an overview and demo of integrating a Simulink Automotive model with ROS and Unreal Engine, along with a brief overview of latest MathWorks tools for Automated Driving, and RoadRunner for Scenario and Scene design. 

Highlights

  • Detecting cones using LIDAR data 
  • Object Detection workflow using deep learning  
  • How to label data  
  • How to design and train a deep learning network  
  • How to deploy a deep learning model to a GPU  
  • What’s new in Automated Driving 
  • Designing scenes and scenarios with RoadRunner 
  • Integrating a Simulink model with ROS2 and 3D visualization in Unreal Engine 

Who Should Attend

Student competitions, people working on perception, automated driving, Formula Student driverless teams, deep learning models
