Scope and Goals

Environment perception using different kinds of sensors is one of the most important tasks for intelligent vehicle systems. In order to make correct and precise decisions, the vehicles need to be aware of and understand the surroundings, such as maps, locations, other vehicles, pedestrians etc.

As a natural extension of perception system in single independent vehicles, cooperative perception among multiple intelligent vehicles has the potential to achieve a more effective, efficient and robust solution, because it has the apparent advantages of parallelism, distribution and redundancy.

However, the challenges are as evident. How to coordinate multiple intelligent vehicles? What information should be interchanged and in what format? What communication architecture should be used? Which tasks should be done locally and which remotely?

The special session aims to provide up-to-date research that could help advance understanding of the cooperative perception problem among multiple intelligent vehicles
