Sensor Fusion

Mercedes Benz via Udacity Nanodegree

Overview

The Sensor Fusion Engineer Nanodegree program consists of four courses that teach the fundamentals of sensor fusion and perception for self-driving cars. The program covers lidar, radar, camera, and Kalman filters, and includes lessons on working with real-world data, filtering, segmentation, clustering, and object tracking. In addition, students will work on a capstone project that involves building a complete sensor fusion pipeline for autonomous vehicles. Upon completing the program, graduates will have the skills and knowledge necessary to design and implement sensor fusion systems for self-driving cars.

  • Generally enjoyed the course but found some other Udacity courses better designed. The first couple of sections were in my opinion too focused on using a particular library instead of teaching the fundamentals. The computer vision projects also required a lot of manual work that could have been removed with a better organization of the project's initial code. The last section on the Unscented Kalman Filter was however very good.

    Very interesting and relevant content. The C++ programming is a bit more advanced than expected. I did the Intro to Self Driving Cars Nanodegree in advance, but still feel I lack some C++ skills. Resulting in that I spend longer time on programming tasks. But I learn C++ from this, which is nice.

    The program is well thought out, the content is remarkably close to the real world. The projects and examples provide a good balance of hands-on learning and theory.
