• Abstract: In the autonomous driving area synthetic data is crucial for cover specific traffic scenarios which autonomous vehicle must handle. This data commonly introduces domain gap between synthetic and real domains. In this paper we deploy data augmentation to generate custom traffic scenarios with VRUs in order to improve pedestrian recognition. We provide a pipeline for augmentation of the Cityscapes dataset with virtual pedestrians. In order to improve augmentation realism of the pipeline we reveal a novel generative network architecture for adversarial learning of the data-set lighting conditions. We also evaluate our approach on the tasks of semantic and instance segmentation.

  Existing domain generalization aims to learn a generalizable model to perform well even on unseen domains. We propose Directional Domain Augmentation (DDA), which simulates the unseen target features by mapping source data as augmentations through a domain transformer. We evaluate the proposed method on both synthetic datasets and realworld datasets, and empirical results show that our approach can outperform other existing methods.

  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.
