Estimating Object Importance and Modeling Driver’s Situational Awareness for Intelligent Driving

3305 Newell-Simon Hall

Abstract: The ability to identify important objects in a complex and dynamic driving environment can help assistive driving systems alert drivers. These assistance systems also require a model of the drivers' situational awareness (SA) (what aspects of the scene they are already aware of) to avoid unnecessary alerts. This thesis builds towards such intelligent driving [...]
