ECE Seminar - Deep Learning for Computer Vision and Decision-Making in Autonomous Systems
Abstract: In this talk, we will review our recent advances in deep learning for computer vision and decision-making perception and decision-making in autonomous systems. We will first report our results in unsupervised depth estimation via deep learning in dynamic environment. Then, we will show our results adapted to different extreme conditions like night, rainy night and snow days, as well as indoor cases. Meanwhile, we also consider the recent works in semantic segmentation. After giving our results in perception of complex environment, we will also present our results in decision-making of multi-agent systems via reinforcement learning. Finally, some concluding remarks will be provided.
