Acquisition of inputs by image processing for controlling an autonomous vehicle
Midrla, Daniel ; Píštěk, Václav (referee) ; Kučera, Pavel (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with data acquisition by image processing in order to control an autonomous vehicle. Firstly, the thesis offers a summary of theoretical knowledge relevant to the given topic. Then follows a description of creating an algorithm, which acquires basic inputs for autonomous vehicle control with the use of a stereo camera and an object detection neural network. The inputs gained from this algorithm are the class of the detected object and its distance. Finally, an experimental evaluation of the correct functionality is performed with an emphasis on optimizing the accuracy and range of the distance computation. An assessment of the ability to deploy the created algorithm in real time on a compact computer with limited computing power is also performed.

Automatic On-Line Calibration and Calibration Monitoring of Cameras and Lidars
Moravec, Jaroslav ; Šikudová, Elena (advisor) ; Obdržálek, Štěpán (referee)
Title: Automatic On-Line Calibration and Calibration Monitoring of Cameras and Lidars Author: Jaroslav Moravec Department: Department of Software and Computer Science Education Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Elena Šikudová, Ph.D., Department of Software and Computer Science Education Abstract: Cameras and LiDARs are important devices in the automotive indus- try as their combination provides useful information (3D coordinates of a point, its colour and intensity) for perception, localization, mapping and prediction. Successful data fusion and interpretation requires accurate calibration of intrin- sic parameters of the sensors and their 6D relative pose. In this thesis, we present a target-less calibration method on three different calibration tasks. The solu- tion is based on a robust likelihood function constructed over the reprojection error of LiDAR edges relative to image edges. When the calibration slowly wears off, our online recalibration procedure can jointly follow the extrinsic calibration drift with an average error of 0.13◦ in rotation and 4 cm in translation. Based on this recalibration tool, we are also able to monitor the calibration and detect an abrupt decalibration in a couple of seconds. And we also present a fully automatic calibration routine that estimates both the extrinsic and intrinsic...

Overview Of Approaches To Multisensor Fusion As Used In Adas And Av
Zemčík, Tomáš
This paper briefly summarises the state-of-the-art in the field of approaches to heterogeneous multisensory fusion as in use in autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). It first describes the basic perception principles, goes over the used sensors and their properties. Various approaches to sensor fusion are then explained with particular focus on their effects on road traffic safety. Conclusions suggest the most perspective approaches and possible improvements.

Design of traffic sign detector using image processing methods
Šmíd, Josef ; Adámek, Roman (referee) ; Věchet, Stanislav (advisor)
This master thesis deals with the design of a traffic sign detector using the image processing methods. The OpenCV library for working with images in programming language Python is used for this. The first part reports on the using methods. In the next part, these methods were tested on images of traffic signs taken in traffic in different lighting conditions. The results of these tests led to the design of optimal methods and their settings, which were re-verified by verifying on video of driving in traffic. This also revealed the conditions under which they can operate in real-time systems. Finally, an optimization algorithm for compensation of detection errors was proposed from the monitoring of detection waveforms.

Autonomous electric cars and future of mobility
HOANGOVÁ, Kim
The bachelor thesis deals with the impact of car development on society, as well as both the social and environment consequences. In the thesis there is an overview of the enviromental benefits of electric cars compared to traditional cars with an internal combustion engines. The author compares the advantages of electric vehicles to internal combustion engine vehicles based on current societal and economic conditions, the impact that can be achieved by analyzing the break-even point. The acquired knowledge is then applied to the context of autonomous transportation and presents possible view of the future of mobility.
