2024.03 version of Mapless Autonomy comes with novel free space detection
The latest version of the Mapless Autonomy Platform comes with a novel version of its drivable space detection and several minor improvement points in other areas of the software stack.
The 2024.03 release holds the following major improvements:
Novel algorithm for freespace detection in off-road operating design domains. This enables operation in more complex environments, such as situations where steep slopes are present and the ground level is significantly three dimensional.
The new approach also enables an improved detection of “out-of-distribution” objects, which substantially improves reliability in edge-cases.
Support for lane type identification based on a probabilistic approach in the road model.
Additional minor improvements and bug-fixes are:
Much more detailed metrics calculation for neural networks
Several additions to leader & follower autonomy logic
Increased test coverage and several minor bug fixes to various parts of the stack
