Loughborough United Kingdom Artificial Intelligence Engineering Mathematics

About the Project

Safety is a prerequisite for the practical application of autonomous driving. Reliable driving perception is essential for achieving safe autonomous driving.

This project aims to develop a series of sensing-enhanced methods enabling improved reliability and safety of autonomous driving. The impacts of natural noise on the intelligent vehicle-sensing system will be studied, including but not limited to raindrops, rain streaks, and fog.

The sensing-enhanced methods will be based on the combination of computationally physical modelling and artificial intelligence for ensuring high-quality perception while satisfying safe autonomous driving. The sensing-enhanced performance of the methods will be analysed and tested in our virtual driving simulator and test platform.
