S. Tariq, March 21, "As we move toward the next generation of AI-defined vehicles that operate with higher levels of autonomy in wider coverage areas, we find that current solutions that rely on HD maps aren't scalable. To build a truly scalable autonomous driving stack, we need to advance perception capabilities much further so we can reduce reliance on maps. These advances also help us avoid issues with stale map data and make the vehicle more economical to operate. This session covers the solutions to move towards a mapless HD world and provides invaluable insights into how to use next-generation perception systems to understand the world around us better, while ensuring safe operation of the system. These innovations are transforming the future of autonomous vehicles and expanding their reach...." Read More

Z. Hu, March 18, "Humans naturally perceive the 3D geometry of objects and scenes, which helps us orient ourselves in space. Similarly, 3D occupancy prediction—which predicts the occupancy status and other attributes of each voxel in a scene—is a critical task for autonomous vehicles and has become a fundamental part of the perception stack. Unlike 3D object detection, which relies on oriented cuboids, 3D occupancy prediction uses voxelized representations, providing the AV planning stack with richer world model information. In this talk, we share NVIDIA's VoxFormer and Forward-Backward Birds Eye View (FB-BEV), the latest technologies in 3D perception for autonomous driving that helped NVIDIA win the 3D Occupancy Prediction Challenge and Innovation Awards at CVPR 2023. VoxFormer is NVIDIA's first camera-based solution for 3D occupancy prediction. FB-BEV is our advanced view transformation design using forward-backward projection, which overcomes the limitations of current approaches using either forward or backward projection…." Read More
