Learning-based Velocity Estimation for Autonomous Racing

Our lab's recent work with AMZ Racing on leveraging deep learning to accurately estimate the velocity of racecars has been featured in an article on IEEE Spectrum.

If you're interested to learn how we managed to obtain estimates that rival those coming from expensive, highly specialized sensors, using affordable sensors combined with machine learning - and the relevance of our approach to self-driving cars - please read the Spectrum article external pageherecall_made.

For more technical details, the original paper is now available on external pageIEEE Explorecall_made and external pageArXivcall_made.
