FieldSAFE: Dataset for Obstacle Detection in Agriculture
In this paper, we present a novel multi-modal dataset for obstacle detection
in agriculture. The dataset comprises approximately 2 hours of raw sensor data
from a tractor-mounted sensor system in a grass mowing scenario in Denmark,
October 2016. Sensing modalities include stereo camera, thermal camera, web
camera, 360-degree camera, lidar, and radar, while precise localization is
available from fused IMU and GNSS. Both static and moving obstacles are present
including humans, mannequin dolls, rocks, barrels, buildings, vehicles, and
vegetation. All obstacles have ground truth object labels and geographic
coordinates.Comment: Submitted to special issue of MDPI Sensors: Sensors in Agricultur
Layered Interpretation of Street View Images
We propose a layered street view model to encode both depth and semantic
information on street view images for autonomous driving. Recently, stixels,
stix-mantics, and tiered scene labeling methods have been proposed to model
street view images. We propose a 4-layer street view model, a compact
representation over the recently proposed stix-mantics model. Our layers encode
semantic classes like ground, pedestrians, vehicles, buildings, and sky in
addition to the depths. The only input to our algorithm is a pair of stereo
images. We use a deep neural network to extract the appearance features for
semantic classes. We use a simple and an efficient inference algorithm to
jointly estimate both semantic classes and layered depth values. Our method
outperforms other competing approaches in Daimler urban scene segmentation
dataset. Our algorithm is massively parallelizable, allowing a GPU
implementation with a processing speed about 9 fps.Comment: The paper will be presented in the 2015 Robotics: Science and Systems
