MonoFG will enable cars to react faster than an Olympic sprinter
Relying on a single monocular camera, game-changing system MonoFG could lower the cost of autonomous cars by thousands of dollars
An Australian Catholic University report:
Just as humans perceive and judge depth while moving, MonoFG, improves how self-driving vehicles detect and navigate complex environments by accurately distinguishing between foreground and background.
Until now autonomous driving technology has been prohibitively expensive and would require laser-pulsing LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensors and cameras to create a 3D map of the surroundings. A LiDAR system can cost up to $75,000, meaning MonoFG technology could bring autonomous driving within a family budget.
“This isn’t just a concept-MonoFG has been tested on real-world datasets, proving that affordable, AI-driven self-driving technology is within reach.”
The AI system behind the camera technology was designed by Assoc Prof Hussain and researchers from Shanghai University and Xidian University in China … more
