Detecting Driveable Area for Autonomous Vehicles

7 Nov 2019  ·  Niral Shah, Ashwin Shankar, Jae-hong Park ·

Autonomous driving is a challenging problem where there is currently an intense focus on research and development. Human drivers are forced to make thousands of complex decisions in a short amount of time,quickly processing their surroundings and moving factors. One of these aspects, recognizing regions on the road that are driveable is vital to the success of any autonomous system. This problem can be addressed with deep learning framed as a region proposal problem. Utilizing a Mask R-CNN trained on the Berkeley Deep Drive (BDD100k) dataset, we aim to see if recognizing driveable areas, while also differentiating between the car's direct (current) lane and alternative lanes is feasible.
