An Analysis and Benchmarking in Autoware.AI and OpenPCDet LiDAR-based 3D Object Detection Models
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-11)Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) sensors are widely used in applications related to autonomous driving. The ability to scan and visualize the 3D surroundings of the vehicle as a point cloud is a particular strength of ... -
Beluga Whale Detection in the Cumberland Sound Bay using Convolutional Neural Networks
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-03-29)The Cumberland Sound Beluga is a threatened population of belugas and the assessment of the population is done by a manual review of aerial surveys. The time-consuming and labour-intensive nature of this job motivates the ... -
Digital Twin Framework and Auto-Linking for Management of Legacy Assets
(University of Waterloo, 2021-04-30)The integration of Digital Twins (DTs) for facility and asset management is becoming increasingly common with the advancement of sensor and modelling technology. A digital twin is defined as a responsive and virtual ... -
LiDAR-MIMO: Efficient Uncertainty Estimation for LiDAR-based 3D Object Detection
(University of Waterloo, 2022-02-09)The estimation of uncertainty in robotic vision, such as 3D object detection, is an essential component in developing safe autonomous systems aware of their own performance. However, the deployment of current uncertainty ... -
Modern Object and Visual Relationship Detection in Images from a Critical, Cognitive and Data Perspective
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-27)Deep learning has dominated the landscape of computer vision for the past decade. Deep learning networks are the top performers on a slew of computer vision challenges (e.g., object detection or image segmentation) and on ... -
On the Design of 2D Human Pose Estimation Networks using Accelerated Neuroevolution and Novel Keypoint Representations
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-02)Motion capture is a very useful technology that is employed across many industries. Biomechanical analysis, film production, video game development, and virtual reality are among its diverse applications. However, traditional ... -
XC: Exploring Quantitative Use Cases for Explanations in 3D Object Detection
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-18)Explainable AI (XAI) methods are frequently applied to obtain qualitative insights about deep models' predictions. However, such insights need to be interpreted by a human observer to be useful. In this thesis, we aim to ...
