I previously shared my work using a custom YOLOv8 model for object detection on KITTI and Nuscenes datasets with LiDAR data projected onto a bird's-eye view (BEV). Now, I have trained a custom Yolov8 model for front camera images and have done the visualizations of both the camera and LiDAR BEV model outputs! This allows for a fascinating comparison of how each sensor "sees" the environment. This can also help autonomous vehicles get a 3D view of the environment. This combined visualization is a great step towards achieving my goal of using weighted fusion for the final results. #ComputerVision #ObjectDetection #KITTI #YOLOv8 #BirdsEyeView #DataScience #MachineLearning #Robotics

Have you ever wondered how autonomous vehicles percieve the real-world like we humans do? In this research article, I've conducted a comprehensive case-study on the KITTI 360 Vision Dataset (Andreas Geiger, Philip Lenz, Christoph Stiller, Raquel Urtasun) from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Toyota Technological Institute. This experiment also explains how 2D depth frames can be utilized to reconstruct 3D point-cloud representations of the scene, using Open3D library. Velodyne Lidar's legacy HDL-64E S2 3D LiDAR sensor provides SOTA results in-terms of real-time depth mapping, and it can be clearly seen in the experimental results as well.

Just came across this article about he U.S. Coast Guard deploying autonomous patrol boats. It’s a significant step in maritime defense, paralleling the U.S. Navy’s deployment of unmanned vessels like the USV Ranger and Nomad under the Ghost Fleet Overlord program. While this marks a leap in maritime operations, integrating cutting-edge technologies for enhanced capabilities, it also serves as a crucial reminder of the strategic landscape we’re navigating. Nations like China are rapidly advancing in this domain, making it imperative for the U.S. to maintain, if not extend, its edge in defense and maritime security. This isn’t just about military might; it’s about understanding and seizing the dual opportunity presented here. On one front, there’s the imperative to bolster our national defense capabilities through technological superiority. On the other, it’s an open arena for innovation and economic growth. For entrepreneurs, tech enthusiasts, and defense experts, this is more than a trend – it’s a call to action. Investing in AI, cybersecurity, and autonomous systems isn’t just profitable; it’s a contribution to our nation’s security and a step towards maintaining global leadership in defense technology. As we delve into this era of autonomous military technology, there is a tremendous opportunity for U.S. innovators to contribute to ensuring our defense superiority while also capitalizing on the economic potentials. It’s a win-win scenario for national security and business growth.” #DefenseInnovation #NationalSecurity #AutonomousTechnology

Over 3.5 hours of driverless operation. Over 10,000 safety checks per second, and continuously scanning using radar, lidar, and cameras. Calculating both nominal and fallback plans seamlessly, all without a driver onboard. The ability of a vehicle to drive itself is a marvel. An autonomous stack capable of operating for extended periods is an often overlooked requirement for safely launching an autonomous solution. This is just one of the ways we're testing to ensure that the Kodiak Driver is ready to take the wheel. #autonomoustrucks #autonomousvehicles #techonology
