Develop methods using deep learning models to improve the current pallet perception system, with a focus on fusing model outputs with data from other sensors. The main focus will be on general pallet identification and localization.

In your Master Thesis at Toyota, you will work on:
A modern sensor system featuring:
2D RGB camera
Time-of-Flight (ToF) 3D camera
Correlation between pixels from the RGB camera and points in the 3D point cloud from the ToF camera
NVIDIA chip in an embedded environment (GPU) for data processing

Tasks include:
Training and evaluation of deep learning (DL) models using different methodologies
Algorithm development for data fusion
Evaluation using real-world data and comparison with training results from a synthetic environment

At Toyota, we work with innovative technologies to develop our autonomous trucks. The thesis project will investigate training methodologies, model architecture, and the selection of suitable model outputs that can be effectively combined with point cloud data to accurately localize a pallet in relation to the camera position. The training data will be generated in synthetic environments, which will be provided as part of the project. Therefore, the gap between synthetic and real-world data will also need to be considered when evaluating the results. The thesis project will be carried out in close collaboration with one of Toyota's teams specializing in machine learning development.
SCOPE
