Supervised machine learning algorithms are used in automated driving, the success of those algorithms depends to a large extent on the training data used. To make the training of the ML-algorithms as efficient as possible and to minimize the amount of necessary training data, active learning methods are used. For this, the ML algorithm itself decides which data is relevant for training and which is not. In particular, there is a great need for research in the context of Deep Learning based object detection. In your work, you will develop an active learning system for object detection and evaluate your prototype on a real system in a large-scale infrastructure. You will gain deep insights into Deep Learning based object detection methods as well as in the area of Active Learning.
