ITSS Germany Online DLS - 31 May 2023 - Speaker: Dr. Reza Rezaei
Join us, Wednesday, 31st of May, 2023, at 17:00 PM CET for an exciting virtual talk by Dr. Reza Rezaei on the topic "Virtual Field Development and Testing Methodology for AD/ADAS System".
This talk is part of the ITSS Distinguished Lecture Series (DLS), organized by the ITSS Germany Chapter and technically co-sponsored by IAV GmbH.
Topic:
Virtual Field Development and Testing Methodology for AD/ADAS System
Abstract:
The development of autonomous driving systems requires comprehensive testing and validation to ensure that the regulatory requirements are fulfilled, and the system performs reliably and safely under all operating conditions. Innovative virtual field validation methods are becoming increasingly important not only due to the cost reduction in the development but also for covering more operating conditions. It also allows for testing of rare and dangerous scenarios without risking physical harm to the test vehicle, and traffic participants.
The current results of virtual field testing and validation methodology of AD/ADAS systems, with a specific focus on visual perception will be discussed. First, an overview of the AD/ADAS development process and the use of virtual testing are presented. Then the challenges associated with camera-based perception systems and computer vision algorithms under various environmental and lighting conditions, including camera soling are discussed.
The model-based methodology developed to create adverse and challenging scenarios for computer vision systems is demonstrated with multiple simulation results based on real-field measurement data. Finally, an outlook on future developments of the AI-based methodology for creating critical scenarios and edge cases using deep reinforcement learning is provided.
