Object Detection in Autonomous Vehicles: Status and Open Challenges

Understand

Object detection is a computer vision task that has become an integral part of many consumer applications today such as surveillance and security systems, mobile text recognition, and diagnosing diseases from MRI/CT scans.

• Object detection is also one of the critical components to support autonomous driving.
• Autonomous vehicles rely on the perception of their surroundings to ensure safe and robust driving performance.
• This perception system uses object detection algorithms to accurately determine objects such as pedestrians, vehicles, traffic signs, and barriers in the vehicle's vicinity.
