The autonomous systems piloting self-driving cars will make decisions that have life-and-death consequences. There is little room for error in their ability to classify and track objects in a vehicle’s vicinity. That’s why in developing vehicle perception systems, curating high-quality training and validation datasets is critical. For example, seeing in training data how a pedestrian […]
