The Object Detection's view

The Object Detection has to find all relevant information from the images taken from the world viewer. Relevant is where we are in relation to the track, the opponents, the obstacles and what additional information we have to know (traffic signs, crossings etc.). Also we need estimations about properties of the surface (asphalt, sand, grass etc.). To make it easier to find the objects it has to use feedback from the next step, the Object Tracking. (See Details and proposals for object detection)

View of the Object Tracking

It is to help the Object Detection to find known objects in the next time step faster. Here we will have the possibility to use information of our driver about the steering, acceleration, braking since the last (vision) timestep. So we can setup the detection with estimations of our translation and rotation relative to the last images. Also we have to decide, whether our car will get additional information from other sensors (compass, GPS, radar, parking distance sensors etc.).
