The 14th Silicon Saxony Day took place at Dresden Airport on 18 June. Our colleague Dr Karsten Schwalbe gave a talk there on “Object detection in autonomous driving scenarios.” The talk covered object detection and semantic segmentation in automated driving. During autonomous driving, detecting relevant objects such as traffic signs or pedestrians is an important task, which is why an “understanding” of the camera images at pixel level is required for this purpose. This so-called semantic segmentation can be achieved with the help of convolutional neural networks, which were explained in more detail in the talk.
More than 400 people took part in the Silicon Saxony Day. The varied programme of talks, expert panel discussions and workshops gave them new input and, at the same time, an ideal platform for networking. In addition, more than 30 companies presented themselves and provided information about career entry opportunities.
