_{DDIVA 2019}

Home

Recent advancements in the processing units have improved our ability to construct a variety of architectures for understanding the surroundings of vehicles. Deep learning methods developed for geometric and semantic understanding of environments in driving scenarios aim to increase the success of full-autonomy with the cost of large amount of data.

Recently proposed methods challenge this dependency by pre-processing the data, enhancing, collecting and labeling it intelligently. In addition, the dependency on data can be relieved by generating synthetic data, which alleviates this need with the cost-free annotations, as well as using test drive data from the sensors and hardware mounted on a vehicle. Nevertheless, deep learning architectures can benefit from sensors and hardware which have originally been integrated for other functionalities.

Therefore, systematic approaches and methods can be used to discover the built-in hardware to improve the performance of autonomous driving. The aim of this workshop is to form a platform for exchanging ideas and linking the scientific community active in intelligent vehicles domain.

This workshop will provide an opportunity to discuss applications and their data-dependent demands for understanding the environment of a vehicle while addressing how the data can be exploited to improve results instead of changing proposed architectures.

Call For Papers

The ambition of this full-day DDIVA workshop is to form a platform for exchanging ideas and linking the scientific community active in intelligent vehicles domain. This workshop will provide an opportunity to discuss applications and their data-dependent demands for understanding the environment of a vehicle while addressing how the data can be exploited to improve results instead of changing proposed architectures.

To this end we welcome contributions with a strong focus on (but not limited to) the following topics within Data Driven Intelligent Vehicle Applications:

 

Data Perspective:

• Synthetic Data Generation
• Sensor Data Synchronization
• Sequential Data Processing
• Data Labeling
• Data Visualization
• Data Discovery

Application Perspective:

• Visual Scene Understanding
