Navigating the complexities of coordinate frames: A guide to understanding the differences in Three.js, ROS, and Unreal Engine

Coordinate frames are an important aspect of robotics and computer graphics, as they determine the position and orientation of objects in 3D space. However, different platforms and software libraries use different conventions for their coordinate frames, which can lead to confusion and errors when working with multiple systems. Three.js, ROS, and Unreal Engine are all…

Why Overfitting Data is a Handicap for ADAS Deployment

ADAS enabled vehicles are most commonly driven on highways and main roads for a number of reasons. One reason is that these types of roads tend to have less complex driving scenarios compared to residential areas or side roads. Highways and main roads often have fewer intersections and more predictable traffic patterns, which can make…

Dimensionality reduction and how it helps reduce the search space by leveraging known information

Removing dimensions or making invariant features is a technique used to reduce the search space in a problem by eliminating certain variables or making them irrelevant. This can be especially useful in LiDAR slam, which has a 6Dof search space (x, y, z, roll, pitch, yaw). By reducing the dimensions, the number of permutations in…

Data balancing to remove data bias, do a deep dive on different approaches

Data balancing is the process of ensuring that a machine learning dataset is representative of the real-world population from which it is drawn. This is important because if a dataset is biased, then the machine learning model that is trained on that dataset will also be biased. Bias in machine learning models can lead to…

Balancing Entropy and Recall Rates for AutoEncoders

Autoencoders are neural network architectures that are used to learn a compact representation of input data, called the encoding, and then reconstruct the input data from this encoding. Autoencoders can be used to process point cloud data, which is a set of points in space that represent the surface of an object, as well as…
