Perspective Aware Road Obstacle Detection

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Krzysztof Maciej Lis, Sina Honari

While road obstacle detection techniques have become increasingly effective, they typically ignore the fact that, in practice, the apparent size of the obstacles decreases as their distance to the vehicle increases. In this letter, we account for this by c ...

Haptics based collaborative steering control in automated driving environments

Tomohiro Nakade

A vehicle's steering is a particular system in that it is exposed to individual subjective reviews based on criteria that are hard to assess quantitatively. Haptic design of such systems is a prime concern that has been at the center of industrial developm ...
