AIFB 01-2022 Bachelor or Master Thesis: Deep Learning Anomaly Detection with Model Contradictions for Autonomous Driving
Organisationseinheit
Institut für Angewandte Informatik und Formale Beschreibungsverfahren (AIFB)
Ihre Aufgaben
We don’t have autonomous vehicles around us yet because they're not very good at dealing with the many, crazy things we see on the roads of the world. Therefore, anomaly detection is particularly important to detect the unknown and deal with it. In this thesis you will work with deep learning based methods for the detection of anomalies in camera and lidar data based on model contradictions.
The Topic
- You will evaluate whether model contradictions are suitable to detect true anomalies as well as model failures
- Based on previous work, you will execute and improve a set of three experiments:
- Unknown Lidar Cluster vs CLIP Camera Classifications
- Supervised Lidar Segmentation vs Self-Supervised Lidar Flow Estimation
- Uncertain Semantic Segmentation vs Pseudo-Lidar and Lidar Cluster
- You will thoroughly evaluate the experiments on the multimodal CODA anomaly dataset
