Abstract
Autonomous Vehicle is a technological revolution in the transportation industry and is one among the most anticipated trends of near future. It uses a combination of cameras and sensors like lidar and radar for understanding the scene around it and thereby taking the necessary actions accordingly. This work focuses on segmenting the scene i.e. separation of whole image into individual segments, detecting objects of interest from the road using the 2D view of the road, which is obtained from cameras installed in the vehicle. The objects of interest include traffic signals, traffic signs, road lanes, pedestrian, road markings, vehicles in blindspot area etc. The work also focuses on the headpose detection of the driver to identify whether he is performing mirror and shoulder checks properly. This can be viewed as a driver monitoring application also.
