Week 36~39 - Fixing performance and adding cars to the BehaviourMetrics
For now, we are going to keep working with BehaviourMetrics. First we needed to add a new vehicle that has the function of being an obstacle for our principa...

Week 34~35 - Final adjustments on the BehaviourMetrics
This past two weeks we had to focus on two main tasks: To further understand and add our own deep learning models on the BehaviourMetrics project To lea...
Week 30~33 - Installing BehaviourMetrics
For this past few weeks I have been trying to install and configurate the BehaviourMetrics repository on my local computer. With this repository the main obj...
Week 28~29 - From good to great: improving the basic model
With each week, we try to expand the functionality of our model by making it more robust and efficient. And is all this the basis for all the work we have be...

Week 27 - Training the Brake
This week main dish is going to revolve around teaching the car how to correctly brake when another vehicle is in front of it. But first, we better try to so...
Week 26 - Braking and stopping
The task for this week is going to revolve around trying to make the car stop when another car stops in front of it, then accelerating again when the car is ...
Week 24~25 - Adding some extras
This weeks we continue with the use of the RGB cameras, but this time, we are going to add a little bit more of spice, we will add more agents apart from our...
Week 23 - Semantic Segmentation
Once we have established a solid base for the deep learning project we move on to other tasks. With that being said, we are going to make use of a segmentati...
Week 22 - Subjective vision for a follow-lane task
This week we will try to wrap up some major tasks for the follow-lane vehicle we have been developing this past weeks:
Week 21 - Fixing the car behaviour
This week, our task was to correct the car behaviour for it was steering towards the oncoming lane even thought this is not a desired quality. Many hours wer...
Week 20 - Model analysis so far
For this week, we are going to mainly focus on analyzing the behaviour of the model, and try to understand better the different things that made it work bett...
Week 19 - Understanding the problem and untangling the knot
This week comes as a good point of inflection because by understanding more about the PilotNet and how it works, it was possible to solve a big chunk of the ...
Week 18 - Simplifying and gathering a lot of data
Simplification. That is the goal of our next task, by simplyfing the follow lane, we are going to build up the complexity of the problem. But first, we need ...
Week 17 - Combating imbalanced data
As a continuation of our current task, we are going to keep trying to make our car follow straight roads and turn on the curves correctly. As a reminder, we ...
Week 16 - The solution of every problem is another problem
And just as the problem of turning was fixed, I stumble my self into another problem, but nothing to be afraid of (yet). The simple task of moving from the 0...
Week 15 - Building momentum
Finally, we have made some visible progress with the car learning how to follow the lane implicitly. To do this the idea is pretty much the same as the previ...
Week 14 - Why is it not turning?
Carry on with the task at hand, we still need to figure out why the car is not turning when we increased the dataset with more turning situations. Wasn’t the...
Week 13 - Handling the curve
Stumbling myself with an obstacle, in this week, the work was mainly focused on improving the dataset to handle better the curves. We already had a car that ...
Week 12 - Following the road
With this first week after the summer vacation, I return to the routine with a similar task to the one I had at hand on the summer. Instead of training the c...
Week 7~11 - Slow but steady wins the race
As we enter a vacation period in our thesis planification, advances will surely slow down when we compared them with the previous weeks. But this does not me...
Week 6 - Refining some code and testing some frequencies among others…
For this week we have multiple work borders open that I am going to explain more in detail in this post. To have a better visual of it, the task were as foll...
Week 5 - Setting up CUDA for Deep Neural Networks
As we saw in the previous post, we are very close to finally playing with some machine learning algorithms for our road following car. But as always, first w...
Week 4 - Neural Networks might come to action, but not just yet
As we go further within the project, we stamble ourselfs already trying to introduce the concept of machine learning to the autonomous vehicle. But before we...
Week 3 - Hello World
As we make our way into the depths of the Carla Simulator, it is a good idea to grasp a better understanding of the Carla framework and its infrastructure. I...
Week 2 - Testing Carla Simulation.
A first introduction to the Carla simulation would be a good place to start with this weeks job, for we need to get acquainted with this simulation if we wan...
Week 1 - Soaking myself with context
Starting to warming up, as I am currently in the first training period of my thesis, I must read a lot of papers related to the task at hand, understand them...
Week 0 - Ready, set, go!
With this first entry on my weekly blog, I start my master’s thesis with the objective and hope to learn and solve problems related to autonomous driving usi...
