| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary Object detection in autonomous driving is crucial for perceiving and locating instances of objects. Recent works propose evaluating object detectors by measuring their ability to detect the most relevant objects that can interfere with the driving task. Detectors are ranked based on their performance, rather than simply detecting the highest number of objects. However, there’s limited evidence on whether the relevance of predicted objects contributes to safety and reliability improvements. This position paper proposes a strategy to configure and deploy object detectors that extract knowledge on object relevance and use this knowledge to improve trajectory planning. The results show that filtering objects based on their relevance, combined with traditional confidence thresholds, reduces the risk of missing relevant objects, decreases the likelihood of dangerous trajectories, and improves overall trajectory quality. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary Object detection in self-driving cars is important for identifying things like pedestrians or cars. Scientists are trying to figure out how to measure the best object detectors by seeing if they can find the most important things that could cause problems while driving. They’re ranking detectors based on how well they do this, rather than just counting how many objects they detect. But it’s not clear yet whether this matters for making self-driving cars safer and more reliable. This paper has some ideas about how to make better object detectors and use them to plan the best routes. It shows that by focusing on the most important objects, we can reduce the chances of missing something important, avoid dangerous situations, and get better route planning. |
