Visual perception in today’s ADAS focuses on two separate domains, i.e., surround sensing and driver monitoring. Their progress over the last decade has offered great promise in increasing safety on our roadways. We present a novel system that aims to understand the complete driving situation based on the visual perception of the surrounding traffic scene and driver’s gaze. By modeling the driver’s past and present attention state, and tracking the surround object’s present and future movement, not only can we identify what the driver is looking, but we can further infer the driver’s awareness of the surround object’s intention, allowing system to achieve comprehensive understanding of the situation. The ADAS system, the driver, and the traffic environment are the three elements in the L2/L2+ settings. ADAS system must not only perceive the environment and the driver separately, but it should also understand the interplay between the driver and the environment. The situation understanding system we present addresses this objective and can infer the driver’s awareness of the traffic scene and their intention therein.

The Pop in Your Job – What drives you? Why do you love your job?
It is a pleasure to do work that you are interested in. If this work can also save people's lives, it is even more worth investing in. We plan to use existing sensors in general vehicles to develop technology that is affordable to everyone, reduce casualties on the road, and contribute to road safety.
