The Benefits of a Unified Product Experience

The market for machine learning algorithms for autonomous driving is still relatively young and, as a result, remains highly fragmented. With so many companies and organizations developing their own unique solutions and technologies, one must go to one company for data collection, another for management, and others for model development, MLOps, and even deployment. It…

Javascript, Caching to Optimize Network Traffic

Browsers use caching to temporarily store resources locally on the device, such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files, images, and videos. This allows the browser to quickly access the resources without having to make additional requests to the server. One way browsers can enable device-side caching is through the use of local storage. Local storage…

Training PackNet-SFM with RGB + PointCloud Data

Fusing time synchronized RGB camera images with point cloud data is a powerful approach for training a PackNet-SFM (Structure from Motion) model in PyTorch. This technique combines the benefits of both RGB images and point cloud data to improve the accuracy and robustness of the SFM model. In this article, we will discuss the various…

Roadmap Compression via Streamlining MLOps Infrastructure and its Impacts on ADAS programs

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are becoming increasingly important in the automotive industry as they offer a wide range of features that enhance the safety and comfort of the driving experience. However, the development and deployment of ADAS systems can be a complex and time-consuming process. Traditional hand-coded algorithms and feature engineering, while they have…

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…

Data backhauling tips and techniques to save on bandwidth & latency

Data backhauling refers to the process of transferring data from one location to another, typically from a remote or geographically dispersed location to a central location or “backhaul.” This process is often used in industries such as transportation, where data from vehicles or other mobile assets is collected and sent back to a central location…

Training a Model in MLFlow from CVAT label data

CVAT (Computer Vision Annotation Tool) is an open source tool developed by Intel that allows users to label and annotate images and video data for training machine learning models. MLFlow is an open source platform for managing the end-to-end machine learning lifecycle. It provides tools for tracking experiment runs, organizing code, and reproducing runs, among…

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…

How data structures impact time complexity of code

Data structures are the foundation of efficient algorithms and play a crucial role in determining the time complexity of a piece of code. Time complexity refers to the amount of time it takes for an algorithm to complete, and it is a measure of how the runtime of an algorithm grows as the input size…

Techniques to Boost True Positive Rates using Independent Combinatorics

True positive rates, or the proportion of positive cases that are correctly identified, are an important consideration in many areas. One way to boost true positive rates is to utilize independent combinatorics, a set of techniques that involve combining multiple independent pieces of information or evidence to make a decision. Here are some specific techniques…

Improving Model Performance from 99.9% to 99.999999%

Artificial intelligence (AI) has come a long way in recent years, with many industries adopting it to improve efficiency and productivity. However, there is always room for improvement, and one area where AI can be further enhanced is in terms of accuracy. Currently, many AI systems have an accuracy rate of around 99.9%, which is…

Loose Coupling vs Tight Coupling; Best of Both Worlds

Loose coupling and tight coupling refer to the degree of interdependence between different components in a system. In software development, loose coupling refers to the design of components that can operate independently of one another and do not rely heavily on the internal details of other components. Tight coupling, on the other hand, refers to…

Message Queues in Multi-Threaded Applications

Message queues are a software component that allow different parts of a system, or different systems, to communicate with each other by passing messages. They are often used in architectures that are distributed, meaning that they consist of multiple independent systems that need to communicate with each other. One common use case for message queues…

Validating Search Algorithms with a Dimensionality Analysis

Brute forcing is a method of searching through a search space by testing every possible solution. This method can be useful for validating search algorithms, as it provides a means of comparing the results of the search algorithm to the true solution. One way to validate search algorithms using brute forcing is to quantify the…

ROS 1 vs ROS 2 Tradeoffs and Advantages

ROS (Robot Operating System) is a popular open-source robotics framework that provides libraries and tools for building robot applications. There are currently two versions of ROS: ROS 1 and ROS 2. In this article, we will explore the tradeoffs and advantages of both versions and discuss the tools available for converting between them. We will…
