• Abstract: Nowadays, utilizing Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) has absorbed a huge interest as a potential solution for reducing road traffic issues. Despite recent technological advances in such systems, there are still many inquiries that need to be overcome. For instance, ADAS requires accurate and real-time detection of pedestrians in various driving scenarios. To solve the mentioned problem, this paper aims to fine-tune the YOLOv5s framework for handling pedestrian detection challenges on the real-world instances of Caltech pedestrian dataset. We also introduce a developed toolbox for preparing training and test data and annotations of Caltech pedestrian dataset into the format recognizable by YOLOv5. Experimental results of utilizing our approach show that the mean Average Precision (mAP) of our fine-tuned model for pedestrian detection task is more than 91 percent when performing at the highest rate of 70 FPS. Moreover, the experiments on the Caltech pedestrian dataset samples have verified that our proposed approach is an effective and accurate method for pedestrian detection and can outperform other existing methodologies.

• Unsupervised Adaptation from Repeated Traversals for Autonomous Driving [54.59577283226982]
  Self-driving cars must generalize to the end-user's environment to operate reliably. One potential solution is to leverage unlabeled data collected from the end-users' environments. There is no reliable signal in the target domain to supervise the adaptation process. We show that this simple additional assumption is sufficient to obtain a potent signal that allows us to perform iterative self-training of 3D object detectors on the target domain.

We experiment with the state-of-the-art open-world object detector and find that it also fails to reliably identify the novel objects in CODA.
