Aufgaben
  • The basis of the master's thesis is an existing model vehicle that is used for the pre-development of ADAS and AD functions that are developed in series at ESPRiT Engineering GmbH. The vehicle is equipped with a camera and lidar. Simple camera-based algorithms for object recognition have already been implemented.
  • First, the object classes to be recognized as a result of the work are to be determined; these should include curved lanes, traffic signs and cars.
  • Subsequently, different basic methods of camera-based object recognition (machine learning approaches or deep learning-based approaches) will be identified, systematically compared and evaluated in order to make a strategic selection.
  • The selected method should be taught using image libraries and the model vehicle.
  • Optional: A concept should be developed for dealing with the black box property of the AI method for validating object recognition for safety-critical applications.
  • Optional: The reliability and availability (false-positive and false-negative rates) of object detection should be increased by sensor fusion with lidar evaluation.
  • The developed algorithm should be tested and demonstrated using the model vehicle.
Qualifikationen
  • Enrollment in a technical, scientific or similar university program with consistently above-average grades
  • Good knowledge of programming languages such as Java, Python, C/C++ or similar
  • Strong analytical skills
  • Initial experience in the automotive industry is desirable
  • Good written and spoken German
  • On-site availability at the ESPRiT office for a period of at least 6 months
  • Please note: The work is subject to the secrecy and confidentiality agreement
