Project Description/project implementation overview:
Deep Learning Techniques for Obstacle Detection and Avoidance in Driverless Cars
Obstacle Detection and Avoidance in Driverless Cars project aims to develop a driverless car system that utilizes deep learning techniques for obstacle detection and avoidance. The system utilizes a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for real-time video and image analysis using an IoT device, specifically a Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi is responsible for controlling the car and performing inference using the trained CNN model. The model was trained and achieved an accuracy of 88.6%, providing a reliable and efficient solution for obstacle detection and avoidance in autonomous vehicles, as part of the smart city transportation systems.
