Bill Veenhuis of NVIDIA on "Innovations for Perception Model Development"

NVIDIA DRIVE™ Perception enables robust perception of obstacles, paths, and wait conditions (such as stop signs and traffic lights) right out of the box with an extensive set of pre-processing, post-processing, and fusion processing modules. Together with DRIVE Networks, these form an end-to-end perception pipeline for autonomous driving that uses data from multiple sensor types (e.g. camera, radar, LIDAR).

DRIVE Perception makes it possible for developers to innovate mapping and/or planning/control/actuation autonomous vehicle (AV) functionalities without having to first develop and validate the underlying live perception building blocks.
