[BEV] BEV Ideas and View Transformation

Training pipelines, multiview geometry, and how to lift image features into BEV

1. The Core Goal of a BEV Network A Bird’s Eye View (BEV) network aims to reconstruct, in real time using only onboard cameras, a local 3D map of comparable quality to what an offline reconstructi...

[BEV] BEV Introduction: Tesla's Challenges and Architecture

Why per-camera detection falls short, and how BEV solves it

1. Tesla’s Perception Challenges (2021) Before BEV, Tesla’s pipeline detected objects and lanes independently in each camera view and then tried to fuse the results. This created fundamental probl...

[BEV] BEV Introduction

Understanding L2 and L2+ Perception: Why the Real Challenge Is System Design, Not Just Better Detection When people talk about assisted driving, they often jump straight to compute power, percepti...

Computer Vision - Charuco Board and Phone Pose Detection

Mission The goal is to generate an object ground-truth pose using an RGB-D camera, a ChArUco board, and a known object CAD model or object dimensions. The ChArUco board gives us a stable metric c...

Computer Vision - Charuco Board Detection

ChArUco Pose Estimation A ChArUco board is basically a chessboard combined with ArUco markers. An ArUco marker is a square fiducial marker with a binary ID pattern inside it: 1 2 3 4 5 6 marker ...
