Properly perceiving the environment of the vehicles is essential for a safe driving, which requires computing accurate geometric and semantic information in real-time. In this paper, we challenge state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms for building a perception system for autonomous driving. An inherent drawback in the computation of visual semantics is the trade-off between accuracy and computational cost. We propose to circumvent this problem by following an offline-online strategy. During the offline stage dense 3D semantic maps are created. In the online stage the current driving area is recognized in the maps via a re-localization process, which allows to retrieve the pre-computed accurate semantics and 3D geometry in realtime. Then, detecting the dynamic obstacles we obtain a rich understanding of the current scene. We evaluate quantitatively our proposal in the KITTI dataset and discuss the related open challenges for the computer vision community.", optnote="ADAS; 600.076", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=2499), last updated on Tue, 25 Feb 2020 09:51:31 +0100", doi="10.1109/WACV.2015.38", opturl="http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=7045624", file=":http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/rrg2015.pdf:PDF" }
