Abstract
There are various techniques to approach learning in autonomous driving; however, all of them suffer from some problems. In the case of imitation learning based on artificial neural networks, the system must learn to correctly identify the elements of the environment. In some cases, it takes a lot of effort to tag the images with the proper semantics. This is also relevant given the need to have very varied scenarios to train and to thus obtain an acceptable generalization capacity. In the present work, we propose a technique for automated semantic labeling. It is based on various learning phases using image superposition combining both scenarios with chromas and real indoor scenarios. This allows the generation of augmented datasets that facilitate the learning process. Further improvements by applying noise techniques are also studied. To carry out the validation, a small-scale car model is used that learns to automatically drive on a reduced circuit. A comparison with models that do not rely on semantic segmentation is also performed. The main contribution of our proposal is the possibility of generating datasets for real indoor scenarios with automatic semantic segmentation, without the need for endless human labeling tasks.
