Ultrasonic environmental sensing based on deep learning methods

There is a growing need in advanced environmental sensing for autonomous driving applications. Improving the performance of ultrasonic sensors is of great interest because of their robustness, low production costs and widespread use. Today’s sensors use the pulse-echo method to calculate the distance to obstacles. This work examines methods of signal processing and feature extraction as well as the use of machine learning to perform ultrasound-based classification of objects.
