Fisheye cameras provide a large horizontal field of view of 190°. A suite of four cameras placed on each side of the vehicle provide a complete 360° near field perception, commonly referred to as ‘surround view system’. It is necessary for enabling automated parking, low and high speed maneuvering & emergency braking. In this talk, I will present the design and implementation of an industrial automated driving system from the perspective of surround view camera perception. In spite of its prevalence in commercial vehicles, there is no public dataset available for surround view cameras to enable systematic research. We discuss our fisheye multitask learning dataset WoodScape which will be made public. We then discuss the various tasks necessary for a complete visual perception system and share our results. Finally, we share our experience to build a multi-task learning system for all the tasks, specifically investigation on the architectures, loss functions and training strategies.
