In this research, image segmentation and visual odometry estimations in real time
are addressed, and two main contributions were made to this field. First, a new image
segmentation and classification algorithm named DilatedU-NET is introduced. This deep
learning based algorithm is able to process seven frames per-second and achieves over
84% accuracy using the Cityscapes dataset. Secondly, a new method to estimate visual
odometry is introduced. Using the KITTI benchmark dataset as a baseline, the visual
odometry error was more significant than could be accurately measured. However, the
robust framerate speed made up for this, able to process 15 frames per second.
