Stefan Lange, Fritz Ulbrich, Daniel Goehring · 2016
In this paper we present a vehicle detection system using convolutional neural networks on 2d image data. Since realtime capabilities are crucial for object detection systems running in real-traffic situations, we will show how the calculation time of our algorithm can be significantly reduced by taking advantage of depth information from lidar sensors. One part of this work focusses on useful network topologies and network parameters to increase the classification precision. We will test the presented algorithm on an autonomous car in different real-traffic scenarios with regards to detection accuracy and calculation time and show experimental results.
