Course Overview
The Visual Perception for Self-Driving Cars certification course will introduce candidates to the key perception tasks and survey popular computer vision methods for robotic perception in autonomous driving, and dynamic and static object detection. Candidates will acquire the skills to work with the pinhole camera model by the end of this course. Along with them they will detect, explain and fit image characteristics, conduct intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of the camera and build their own convolutional neural networks. For drivable surfaces, estimation candidates can apply these methods to object detection and tracking, visual odometry, and semantic segmentation.
Candidates will build algorithms for the final project in the Visual Perception for Self-Driving Cars training course that defines the limits of the drivable surface and recognise bounding boxes for objects in the scene. On a realistic dataset, students learn to work using synthetic as well as real image data.
The Visual Perception for Self-Driving Cars online course is part of a self-driving car specialisation programme. It is the third one of a total 4 courses. This specialisation gives a detailed understanding of state-of-the-art engineering approaches used in the self-driving automotive industry.

What you will learn
After the completion of the Visual Perception for Self-Driving Cars certification syllabus, candidates will learn these:
- Candidates will be working with models of pinhole cameras and performing intrinsic as well as extrinsic camera calibration. Candidates will detect, explain and fit image characteristics, conduct intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of the camera and build their own convolutional neural networks. And they will learn the skills to apply these methods to object detection and tracking, visual odometry and semantic segmentation for drivable surface estimation.
- Using the open source simulator ‘CARLA’ candidates can get to communicate with actual data sets from an autonomous vehicle (AV)through hands-on projects.
- Candidates can hear from industry experts working at companies such as Oxbotica and Zoox during their courses as they share insights into autonomous technology and how it fuels job growth in the field.
- Candidates can benefit from a highly realistic driving experience that features 3D modelling and environmental conditions for pedestrians.
- They will be able to create their own self-driving software stack and apply for jobs in the autonomous vehicle industry.
