Autoware Sensing Perception Working Group

David Wong edited this page Mar 13, 2024 · 3 revisions

Autoware Sensing & Perception WG is responsible for activities relating to sensor hardware, synchronization, pre-processing, perception, and sensor fusion. This development includes (but is not limited to):

  • Sensor hardware compatibility and selection
  • Sensor synchronization and calibration
  • Pre-processing of sensor data that includes filtering, ground-plane detection, concatenation, and early sensor fusion
  • Object detection and classification in all sensor modalities, and late sensor fusion
  • Object tracking and prediction
  • Scene understanding
  • Monitoring and evaluation of sensor status and perception results

The Sensing & Perception Working Group is also responsible for data collection for perception development. This includes tools for the following:

  • Data anonymization
  • Data cleaning, labelling, and auditing
  • Training of neural networks

The group's main goal is to improve the current perception pipeline and support companies who are new to this domain for them to deploy autonomous vehicles using Autoware Software and align with members who have experience in the field and encouraging sharing of knowledge in the related technologies.

The WG is open to anyone who wants to contribute and learn about AV sensing and perception technologies.

How to participate in the working group

Bi-weekly meeting information

The Sensing & Perception working group meets bi-weekly at 10:00 am UTC (subject to change) on every second Wednesday. For meeting information, see the Autoware Foundation's events calendar for when the upcoming meetings will be held. If you use Google Calendar, you can subscribe to this calendar directly to have it displayed alongside your own calendar events. To do this, click the "+ Google Calendar" link in the bottom right corner of that site. Note that this will not add the events to your own calendar, meaning you may not receive notifications about meetings starting soon. For those not using Google Calendar, you can add the calendar to your own by downloading it as an ICS file and importing that into your calendar software.

The meetings and other announcements will be made every week at Autoware Discord. To join Autoware Discord server please use the link: https://autoware.herokuapp.com/
