• Abstract: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in intelligent vehicles rely on accurate driver perception within the vehicle cabin, often leveraging a combination of sensing modalities. However, these modalities operate at varying rates, posing challenges for real-time, comprehensive driver state monitoring. This paper addresses the issue of missing data due to sensor frame rate mismatches, introducing a generative model approach to create synthetic yet realistic thermal imagery. We propose using conditional generative adversarial networks (cGANs), specifically comparing the pix2pix and CycleGAN architectures. Experimental results demonstrate that pix2pix outperforms CycleGAN, and utilizing multi-view input styles, especially stacked views, enhances the accuracy of thermal image generation. Moreover, the study evaluates the model's generalizability across different subjects, revealing the importance of individualized training for optimal performance. The findings suggest the potential of generative models in addressing missing frames, advancing driver state monitoring for intelligent vehicles, and underscoring the need for continued research in model generalization and customization.

  Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) is a task that retrieves images similar to a query, based on a provided textual modification. Current techniques rely on supervised learning for CIR models using labeled triplets of the reference image, text, target image. We propose a new semi-supervised CIR approach where we search for a reference and its related target images in auxiliary data.

  An autonomous driving system should effectively use the information collected from the various sensors in order to form an abstract description of the world. Deep learning models, such as autoencoders, can be used for that purpose, as they can learn compact latent representations from a stream of incoming data. This work proposes CARNet, a Combined dynAmic autoencodeR NETwork architecture that utilizes an autoencoder combined with a recurrent neural network to learn the current latent representation.

Our framework not only provides a practical ready-to-use solution to monitor and maintain the health of cameras, but can also serve as a basis for extensions to tackle more sophisticated problems.
