How Perception Stack Works in Autonomous Driving Systems

A General Framework for Perception — an Introduction to Self-Driving Cars (Part 5)

In previous part of the Introduction to Self-Driving Car series, we discussed a core visual functionality of perception stack in an autonomous vehicle (AV): computer vision. In it we focused on perception sensing that involves data collection from vehicle sensors and the processing of this data into an understanding of the world around the vehicle — much like the sense of sight in a human driver.
