AIFB 02-2022 Bachelor or Master Thesis: Anomaly Detectionwith World Models for Autonomous Driving
Organisationseinheit
Institut für Angewandte Informatik und Formale Beschreibungsverfahren (AIFB)
Ihre Aufgaben
In computer vision, we often deal with models that have no good understanding of the how the world works. This leads to cases, where neural networks are severely wrong, while we humans can easily identify the issue. Luckily, world models, which learn a representation of the world, come to the rescue. In this thesis, you will train a world model, that not only learns from 2D image data, but also 3D voxel data.
The Topic:
- You will perform state-of-the-art research on current world models with latent state representations and world-model based anomaly detection methods
- You will use camera and lidar data fromthe CARLA simulation engine as training data
- You will detect anomalies based on reconstruction errors, prediction errors, and latent space evaluation with a single pass of your world model
- You will map found anomalies in a 3D voxel representation
