DeepSignals: Predicting Intent of Drivers Through Visual Signals
Detecting the intention of drivers is an essential task in self-driving,
necessary to anticipate sudden events like lane changes and stops. Turn signals
and emergency flashers communicate such intentions, providing seconds of
potentially critical reaction time. In this paper, we propose to detect these
signals in video sequences by using a deep neural network that reasons about
both spatial and temporal information. Our experiments on more than a million
frames show high per-frame accuracy in very challenging scenarios.Comment: To be presented at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and

Aerial Vehicle Tracking by Adaptive Fusion of Hyperspectral Likelihood Maps
Hyperspectral cameras can provide unique spectral signatures for consistently
distinguishing materials that can be used to solve surveillance tasks. In this
paper, we propose a novel real-time hyperspectral likelihood maps-aided
tracking method (HLT) inspired by an adaptive hyperspectral sensor. A moving
object tracking system generally consists of registration, object detection,
and tracking modules. We focus on the target detection part and remove the
necessity to build any offline classifiers and tune a large amount of
hyperparameters, instead learning a generative target model in an online manner
for hyperspectral channels ranging from visible to infrared wavelengths. The
key idea is that, our adaptive fusion method can combine likelihood maps from
multiple bands of hyperspectral imagery into one single more distinctive
representation increasing the margin between mean value of foreground and
background pixels in the fused map. Experimental results show that the HLT not
only outperforms all established fusion methods but is on par with the current
state-of-the-art hyperspectral target tracking frameworks.Comment: Accepted at the International Conference on Computer Vision and

Box-level Segmentation Supervised Deep Neural Networks for Accurate and Real-time Multispectral Pedestrian Detection
Effective fusion of complementary information captured by multi-modal sensors
(visible and infrared cameras) enables robust pedestrian detection under
various surveillance situations (e.g. daytime and nighttime). In this paper, we
present a novel box-level segmentation supervised learning framework for
accurate and real-time multispectral pedestrian detection by incorporating
features extracted in visible and infrared channels. Specifically, our method
takes pairs of aligned visible and infrared images with easily obtained
bounding box annotations as input and estimates accurate prediction maps to
highlight the existence of pedestrians. It offers two major advantages over the
existing anchor box based multispectral detection methods. Firstly, it
overcomes the hyperparameter setting problem occurred during the training phase
of anchor box based detectors and can obtain more accurate detection results,
especially for small and occluded pedestrian instances. Secondly, it is capable
of generating accurate detection results using small-size input images, leading
to improvement of computational efficiency for real-time autonomous driving
applications. Experimental results on KAIST multispectral dataset show that our
proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in terms of both
accuracy and speed
