An Investigation Into Time Gazed At Traffic Objects By Drivers, Kolby R. Sarson Oct 2022

An Investigation Into Time Gazed At Traffic Objects By Drivers, Kolby R. Sarson

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Several studies have considered driver’s attention for a multitude of distinct purposes, ranging from the analysis of a driver’s gaze and perception, to possible use in Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS). These works typically rely on simple definitions of what it means to “see,” considering a driver gazing upon an object for a single frame as being seen. In this work, we bolster this definition by introducing the concept of time. We consider a definition of ”seen” which requires an object to be gazed upon for a set length of time, or frames, before it can be considered as seen …


Potential Of Vision Transformers For Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems: An Evaluative Approach, Andrew Katoch Oct 2022

Potential Of Vision Transformers For Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems: An Evaluative Approach, Andrew Katoch

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

In this thesis, we examine the performance of Vision Transformers concerning the current state of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS). We explore the Vision Transformer model and its variants on the problems of vehicle computer vision. Vision transformers show performance competitive to convolutional neural networks but require much more training data. Vision transformers are also more robust to image permutations than CNNs. Additionally, Vision Transformers have a lower pre-training compute cost but can overfit on smaller datasets more easily than CNNs. Thus we apply this knowledge to tune Vision transformers on ADAS image datasets, including general traffic objects, vehicles, traffic …
