In recent years, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the automotive industry has led to the development of intelligent systems focused on road safety, aiming to improve protection for drivers and pedestrians worldwide to reduce the number of accidents yearly. One of the most critical functions of these systems is pedestrian detection, as it is crucial for the safety of everyone involved in road traffic. However, pedestrian detection goes beyond the front of the vehicle; it is also essential to consider the vehicle's rear since pedestrian collisions occur when the car is in reverse drive. To contribute to the solution of this problem, this research proposes a model based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) using a proposed one-dimensional architecture and the Inception V3 architecture to fuse the information from the backup camera and the distance measured by the ultrasonic sensors, to detect pedestrians when the vehicle is reversing. In addition, specific data collection was performed to build a database for the research. The proposed model showed outstanding results with 99.85% accuracy and 99.86% correct classification performance, demonstrating that it is possible to achieve the goal of pedestrian detection using CNN by fusing two types of data.

Autonomous vehicles, often known as self-driving cars, have emerged as a disruptive technology with the promise of safer, more efficient, and convenient transportation. The existing works provide achievable results but lack effective solutions, as accumulation on roads can obscure lane markings and traffic signs, making it difficult for the self-driving car to navigate safely. Heavy rain, snow, fog, or dust storms can severely limit the car's sensors' ability to detect obstacles, pedestrians, and other vehicles, which pose potential safety risks.

As the demand for autonomous driving (AD) systems has increased, the enhancement of their safety has become critically important. A fundamental capability of AD systems is object detection and trajectory forecasting of vehicles and pedestrians around the ego-vehicle, which is essential for preventing potential collisions. This study introduces the Deep learning-based Acceleration-aware Trajectory forecasting (DAT) model, a deep learning-based approach for object detection and trajectory forecasting, utilizing raw sensor measurements.

Accurate multi-object tracking (MOT) is essential for autonomous vehicles, enabling them to perceive and interact with dynamic environments effectively. Single-modality 3D MOT algorithms often face limitations due to sensor constraints, resulting in unreliable tracking. Recent multi-modal approaches have improved performance but rely heavily on complex, deep-learning-based fusion techniques.

The variants of DEtection TRansformer (DETRs) have achieved impressive performance in general object detection. However, they suffer notable performance degradation in scenarios involving crowded pedestrian detection. This decline primarily occurs during the training phase, where DETRs are constrained solely by pedestrian labels.

For drone-based detection tasks, accurately identifying small-scale targets like people, bicycles, and pedestrians remains a key challenge. In this paper, we propose DV-DETR, an improved detection model based on the Real-Time Detection Transformer (RT-DETR), specifically optimized for small target detection in high-density scenes. To achieve this, we introduce three main enhancements: (1) ResNet18 as the backbone network to improve feature extraction and reduce model complexity; (2) the integration of recalibration attention units and deformable attention mechanisms in the neck network to enhance multi-scale feature fusion and improve localization accuracy; and (3) the use of the Focaler-IoU loss function to better handle the imbalanced distribution of target scales and focus on challenging samples.
