Clear as Day: Low-Power Object Detection for Challenging Conditions
Oct 2023 - Jan 2024 (4 months)
This work explores sensor fusion for object detection in challenging light conditions using the flexx2 3D camera. The focus is on integrating infrared and depth data to enhance object detection performance on resource-constrained and low-power devices, particularly in robotics and autonomous systems where efficiency and accuracy in object detection are crucial under varied environmental conditions. As part of this work, a novel dataset for object detection combining infrared and depth data is introduced, employing the Faster Objects, More Objects (FOMO) model for sensor fusion. The thesis showcases the feasibility of using sensor fusion and FOMO for fast and low-power object detection on constrained devices. Grade: 5.75/6
