[more ▼] Automated Driving Systems (ADS) have rapidly evolved in recent years and their architecture becomes sophisticated. Ensuring robustness, reliability and safety of performance is particularly important. The main challenge in building an ADS is the ability to meet certain stringent performance requirements in terms of both making safe operational decisions and finishing processing in real-time. Middlewares play a crucial role to handle these requirements in ADS. The way middlewares share data between the different system components has a direct impact on the overall performance, particularly the latency overhead. To this end, this paper presents FastCycle as a lightweight multi-threaded zero-copy messaging broker to meet the requirements of a high fidelity ADS in terms of modularity, real-time performance and security. We discuss the architecture and the main features of the proposed framework. Evaluation of the proposed framework based on standard metrics in comparison with popular middlewares used in robotics and automated driving shows the improved performance of our framework. The implementation of FastCycle and the associated comparisons with other frameworks are open sourced.

[more ▼] Data scarcity is a common issue when training deep learning models for digital pathology, as large exhaustively-annotated image datasets are difficult to obtain. In this paper, we propose a self-training based approach that can exploit both (few) exhaustively annotated images and (very) sparsely-annotated images to improve the training of deep learning models for image segmentation tasks. The approach is evaluated on three public and one in-house dataset, representing a diverse set of segmentation tasks in digital pathology. The experimental results show that self-training allows to bring significant model improvement by incorporating sparsely annotated images and proves to be a good strategy to relieve labeling effort in the digital pathology domain.
