Abstract/Description:
In this research, image segmentation and visual odometry estimations in real time are addressed, and two main contributions were made to this field. First, a new image segmentation and classification algorithm named DilatedU-NET is introduced. This deep learning based algorithm is able to process seven frames per-second and achieves over 84% accuracy using the Cityscapes dataset. Secondly, a new method to estimate visual odometry is introduced. Using the KITTI benchmark dataset as a baseline, the visual odometry error was more significant than could be accurately measured. However, the robust framerate speed made up for this, able to process 15 frames per second.
