However, this is a crucial requirement from a safety perspective because a child may not follow all the traffic rules, particularly while crossing the road. Moreover, a child may stop or may start playing on the road. In such situations, the separation of a child from an adult is necessary. The work in this paper targets to solve this problem by applying a transfer-learning-based neural network approach to classify child and adult separately in camera images. The described work is comprised of image data collection, data annotation, transfer learning-based model development, and evaluation. For the work, Mask-RCNN (region-based convolutional neural network) with different backbone architectures and two different baselines are investigated and the perception precision of the architectures after transfer-learning is compared. The results reveal that the best performing trained model is able to detect and classify children and adults separately in different road scenarios with segmentation mask AP (average precision) of 85% and bounding box AP of 92%.

By using multiple sensors cooperatively, the accuracy and probability of the perception are increased, which is crucial for critical traffic scenarios or under bad weather conditions. In this paper, a modular real-time capable multi-sensor fusion framework is presented and tested to fuse data on the object list level from distributed automotive sensors (cameras, radar, and LiDAR). The modular multi-sensor fusion architecture receives an object list (untracked objects) from each sensor. The fusion framework combines classical data fusion algorithms, as it contains a coordinate transformation module, an object association module (Hungarian algorithm), an object tracking module (unscented Kalman filter), and a movement compensation module. Due to the modular design, the fusion framework is adaptable and does not rely on the number of sensors or their types. Moreover, the method continues to operate because of this adaptable design in case of an individual sensor failure. This is an essential feature for safety-critical applications. The architecture targets environmental perception in challenging time-critical applications. The developed fusion framework is tested using simulation and public domain experimental data. Using the developed framework, sensor fusion is obtained well below 10 milliseconds of computing time using an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H mobile processor and the Python programming language. Furthermore, the object-level multi-sensor approach enables the detection of changes in the extrinsic calibration of the sensors and potential sensor failures. A concept was developed to use the multi-sensor framework to identify sensor malfunctions. This feature will become extremely important in ensuring the functional safety of the sensors for autonomous driving.

Hence, numerous works focus on the development of high-fidelity models of ADAS sensors, such as camera, Radar as well as modern LiDAR systems to simulate the sensor behavior in different driving scenarios, even under varying environmental conditions, considering for example adverse weather effects. However, aging effects of sensors, leading to suboptimal system performance, are mostly overlooked by current simulation techniques. This paper introduces a cutting-edge Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) test bench designed for the automated, accelerated aging and characterization of Automotive LiDAR sensors. The primary objective of this research is to address the aging effects of LiDAR sensors over the product life cycle, specifically focusing on aspects such as laser beam profile deterioration, output power reduction and intrinsic parameter drift, which are mostly neglected in current sensor models. By that, this proceeding research is intended to path the way, not only towards identifying and modeling respective degradation effects, but also to suggest quantitative model validation metrics.
