We propose a deep convolutional object detector for automated driving applications that also estimates classification, pose and shape uncertainty of each detected object. The input consists of a multi-layer grid map which is wellsuited for sensor fusion, free-space estimation and machine learning. Based on the estimated pose and shape uncertainty we approximate object hulls with bounded collision probability which we find helpful for subsequent trajectory planning tasks. We train our models based on the KITTI object detection data set. In a quantitative and qualitative evaluation some models show a similar performance and superior robustness compared to previously developed object detectors. However, our evaluation also points to undesired data set properties which should be addressed when training data-driven models or creating new data sets.
In REF , uncertainty is used to approximate object hulls with bounded collision probability for subsequent trajectory planning tasks.
