Methods to copy human thinking
1. Deep learning for scene danger ranking
- Overview
Motivation: Creating a machine with the skill of anticipating complex hazardous situations
Approach: DNN for hazard anticipation in every scene by embedding human experience
Function: Danger map for safe path planning with variable safety margins adjusted from level of danger
Applications: Autonomous driving, Urban assistant, Driving teacher
- Description
- Golden standard of danger levels and location
- Experiment designed by driving psychologists
- Danger labels by driving instructors or by bio signals (ongoing) to avoid subjectivity. It enabled us to create a small dataset of scenes with level of hazard
- Train DNNs to perceive the world as drivers (object, contours, motion, prediction, saliency)
- Incremental transfer learning of generic functions for reasoning about hazard in new scenes
- Output dense map from few training pixels This approach enables hazard raking in every scene
- Achievement
- Feasibility to reproduce by DNN subjectively rated information: the first DNN of its kind
- Multi-task fusion of transfer learning blocks was realized (FCN8s-Pyramid architecture) and analysis suggests that danger ranking benefits from transfer learning
- Realizing the danger map with the function of prediction and anticipation of Hazards
