February 2024 Meetup

Please join us Tuesday the 20th, at 6 PM for our Software Developer’s Cartel IN PERSON meeting.
This month we have our friend Vansh Amin presenting “Unlocking Enhanced Perception for Autonomous Vehicles using Generative Adversarial Networks”.

Please find further information about the presentation below – help us spread the word and share this invitation with your friends and colleagues who may be interested.

We hope you get to visit us and enjoy a glass of Eagle Rare, Blanton’s or Four Roses Small Batch Select (a few of our community favorites). The Presentations last 20 to 30 minutes plus Q&A with serious networking afterwards :^)

Presentation Title: Unlocking Enhanced Perception for Autonomous Vehicles using Generative Adversarial Networks

Presentation Description: With the advent and increasing popularity of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicles (AVs), unconventional passive visual sensors such as hyperspectral imaging have the ability to provide superior object detection abilities due to the rich spectral information they record. These capabilities can change paradigms for the AV industry, and result in safer systems to deploy in the real world. This ongoing work aims to improve hyperspectral imaging through the use of a custom Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) in order to correct for scene illumination, contrast, and shadowing issues. This enhancement would result in higher performing segmentation and reduce the possibility of missed detections further down the AV perception stack.
