Risk Ranked Recall: Collision Safety Metric for Object Detection Systems in Autonomous Vehicles

no code implementations8 Jun 2021 Ayoosh Bansal, Jayati Singh, Micaela Verucchi, Marco Caccamo, Lui Sha

Commonly used metrics for evaluation of object detection systems (precision, recall, mAP) do not give complete information about their suitability of use in safety critical tasks, like obstacle detection for collision avoidance in Autonomous Vehicles (AV).

SL1-Simplex: Safe Velocity Regulation of Self-Driving Vehicles in Dynamic and Unforeseen Environments

no code implementations4 Aug 2020 Yanbing Mao, Yuliang Gu, Naira Hovakimyan, Lui Sha, Petros Voulgaris

Due to the high dependence of vehicle dynamics on the driving environments, the proposed Simplex leverages the finite-time model learning to timely learn and update the vehicle model for $\mathcal{L}_{1}$ adaptive controller, when any deviation from the safety envelope or the uncertainty measurement threshold occurs in the unforeseen driving environments.
