Multi-Sensors System and Deep Learning Models for Object Tracking

Sensors (Basel). 2023 Sep 11;23(18):7804. doi: 10.3390/s23187804.

Abstract

Autonomous navigation relies on the crucial aspect of perceiving the environment to ensure the safe navigation of an autonomous platform, taking into consideration surrounding objects and their potential movements. Consequently, a fundamental requirement arises to accurately track and predict these objects' trajectories. Three deep recurrent network architectures were defined to achieve this, fine-tuning their weights to optimize the tracking process. The effectiveness of this proposed pipeline has been assessed, with diverse tracking scenarios demonstrated in both sub-urban and highway environments. The evaluations have yielded promising results, affirming the potential of this approach in enhancing autonomous navigation capabilities.
