The interest in autonomous vehicles has increased exponentially in recent years. While Lidar is a proven autonomous driving technology, end-to-end learning approaches have become popular as computer performance has improved. A fully end-to-end method—NVIDIA’s PilotNet has shown its ability to predict speed and steering angle with only camera images. This method achieved the Lidar-based methods’ performance in simple driving tasks. However, a significant drawback was no past spatiotemporal information, imposing an error-sensitive performance, especially in complex driving tasks. Spurred by this deficiency, this paper introduces two novel models: CNN + LSTM and CNN3D, aiming for complex autonomous driving tasks in indoor environments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
