Description
With the introduction of LiDAR sensors (Light Detection and Ranging) to ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and Autonomous Driving, a need for perception algorithms that directly analyze point clouds has become apparent.In this training you’ll:
- get an overview of ADAS and Autonomous Driving from the perspective of processing LiDAR data
- understand the traditional system setup and coordinate frames, notions of latency and jitter
- understand the details of classical point cloud processing algorithms for ADAS scenario
- get hands-on experience with implementing at least one of the classical algorithms in C++
- get an overview of deep learning approaches to perception in the autonomous driving scenario
- understand how to measure accuracy of the algorithms and deploy them to state of the art hardware
- get an overview of open datasets for autonomous driving
After completing the course, a certificate
is issued on the Luxoft Training form
