(video) Advanced perception training: child pedestrians detection

For AV and ADAS, safety is the first step to gaining the public’s trust. Autonomous systems use extensive training methods to enhance their ability to anticipate potential hazards. When talking about the substantial injury rate among child pedestrians – exposing the AI systems to multiple scenes, locations, speeds, and poses can become crucial.

Among location and height factors, one must also consider a child’s unexpected behavior, faster movement, and decreased ability to notice and analyze their surroundings.

Try yourself: how many kids can you spot in the video? Did you see them all coming?
