Summary
This project aims at the development of smarter sensors to improve both (a) their reliability and (b) their ability to extract the higher level information required for the deployment of self-driving cars. More specifically, in the context of this project, we intend to develop more competitive radar solutions that will integrate advanced features not available in current radar sensor technology. The introduction of Artificial Intelligence and in particular deep neural networks (DNN), has drastically improved the performance of many sensors such as laser scanners and cameras. Our objective is therefore to develop an embedded solution that will allow radars to produce more accurate information.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à développer des capteurs plus intelligents pour améliorer à la fois (a) leur fiabilité et (b) leur capacité à extraire l'information de niveau supérieur nécessaire au déploiement des voitures auto‑dirigées. Plus précisément, dans le cadre de ce projet, nous avons l'intention de développer des solutions de radar plus compétitives, qui intégreront des caractéristiques avancées non disponibles dans la technologie actuelle des capteurs radar. L'introduction de l'intelligence artificielle et en particulier des réseaux neuronaux profonds, a considérablement amélioré les performances de nombreux capteurs tels que les scanners laser et les caméras. Notre objectif est donc de développer une solution intégrée, qui permettra aux radars de produire des informations plus précises.
Expected Results
The purpose of IRAP’s Youth Employment Program is to assist in increasing the supply of highly qualified people, promoting the benefits of advanced studies, demonstrating federal leadership by investing in the skills required to meet the needs of the knowledge economy and facilitating the transition of highly skilled young people to a rapidly changing labour market.
