Deep Learning

Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) wireless connectivity is the next frontier in road transportation, which will greatly benefit the safety and reliability of autonomous cars. Information shared among autonomous vehicles provides opportunities to better coordination schemes and also raises novel challenges.

Multi-agent collaborative perception has been proposed to leverage the viewpoints of other agents to improve the detection accuracy compared with the individual viewpoint. Recent research has shown the effectiveness of early, late, and intermediate fusion of collaborative perception, which respectively transmits raw data, output bounding boxes, and intermediate features, and the improved collaborative perception results will benefit the self-driving decisions of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs).
