Privately Owned Vehicle Work Group Meeting - 2026/06/01 - Slot 1&2

[TranHuuNhatHuy]

Milestones

VisionPilot 1.0 is planned for release by the end of June. The team is now working their best for that!

New VisionPilot Architecture

AutoDrive Model Design and Development

@pranavreddy23

• Developed and merged model base interfaces for VisionPilot 1.0 (Reference).
• Currently refining main VisionPilot loop.

@atanasko

• Developed and merged camera calibration module for VisionPilot 1.0 (PR).
• Introduced ROS2 switch so VisionPilot is independent from ROS builds.

Camera input/output bridges

@TranHuuNhatHuy

• ROS2 => OpenCV bridge: merged
• V4L2 => OpenCV bridge: merged
• Image => WebRTC visualization streaming module: merged
• [WIP] Main visualization pipeline

Blind spot detection

• Currently being developed by @bilyas2 first PR

CAN interface

• @tranchithanh2000 and Ram (GitHub ID?) are working on it.
• @tranchithanh2000 published a PR regarding this.

Robust Photorealistic Scene Converter

• Objective
  • Develop a lightweight, fast video style transfer pipeline to convert CARLA simulator images into images resembling the Waymo Open Dataset.
• Key Requirements
  • Runs on modest GPUs
  • Achieves ≥10 FPS at 256 × 512 resolution
  • Preserves semantic consistency (e.g., cars remain cars)
  • Produces high-quality photorealistic results
• Current Progress
  • Anthony and Thomas
  • Implementing CARLA2Real as an off-the-shelf solution:
  • https://github.com/stefanos50/CARLA2Real
• Next steps:
  • Evaluate performance
  • Optimize and fine-tune for project needs

Meeting Recording

• Zoom meeting recording available upon request
• Contact @m-zain-khawaja for access

[TranHuuNhatHuy]

Slot 1 meeting discussion quick note:

• Anthony and Thomas:

  • Got some interesting results on the pix2pixHD model training and inference:
  - However, there are still some rooms for improvement: - Refine the input data, including semantic masks, labels. - Consider available approaches to adjust the environment conditions (e.g. rainy, sunny, dark,...) (question here: would a simple, classic augmentation help?)

• Zaynab:

  • Details about the training process of the three E2E models.
  • Handling of the camera difference upon real-vehicle implementation.
  • The current development progress of VisionPilot
  • The ODD definitions of the current VisionPilot release
  • What to collaborate next between VisionPilot and Safety WGs.

• Austin:

  • Currently got some schedule conflicts, gonna ask Zain for some arrangements.
  • For now, he will join Robotaxi WG.

Tried to attempt slot 2 (but arrived 15 minutes late) ... either there is no meeting, or I got the time wrong, or I was just too late ...
Is it possible to get the recording for slot 1 ?
I will re-try to attend next week
