Abstract

A method for achieving better performance in an autonomous driving while saving computing powers, by using confidence scores representing a credibility of an object detection which is generated in parallel with an object detection process is provided. And the method includes steps of: (a) a computing device acquiring at least one circumstance image on surroundings of a subject vehicle, through at least one panorama view sensor installed on the subject vehicle; (b) the computing device instructing a Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) to apply at least one CNN operation to the circumstance image, to thereby generate initial object information and initial confidence information on the circumstance image; and (c) the computing device generating final object information on the circumstance image by referring to the initial object information and the initial confidence information, with a support of an RL agent.
