In this paper, a novel methodology is presented to assess automated vehicles safety performance based on a multifactorial analysis of severity indicators in the vicinity of the under test self-driving car. The set of severity indicators includes commonly used time intervals (Inter Vehicular Time, Time to Collision, Time to Steer, ...), distance-based indicators, traffic congestion indicators and a newly developed indicator relying on overlapping geometrical regions. Unsupervised clustering techniques are then used to investigate the correlations, dependence among the whole set of indicators. To address the problem of combining these heterogeneous quantities to derive a global measure of dangerousness for a given scenario, appropriate scaling is performed and various aggregation methods are tested against cut-in, cutout and cut-through scenarios.

The safety assessment of such components requires a formal characterization of the perception and control mechanisms. This requires dedicated tools and models for the environment, sensors and vehicles that are highly representative of the real world. Simulation is a method to virtually investigate the behavior of systems under study. It has a key role to play in demonstrating the safety of autonomous vehicles. In this context, we consider a control module as a black-box and try to determine a reference which represents the 'right decision', if it exists. An optimization-based reference model is created for the control function. This model allows each scene in the environment to be mapped to the desired decision regardless of the black-box. The black-box and the reference model are run on several critical scenarios. In output, an assessment of decision making is performed along with systematic criticality characterization of targeted scenarios.

Such data acquisition is encoded in the framework of a Radon transform on this family of spheres. In spite of the existence of an exact inversion formula, the numerical landscape reflectivity function reconstitution is best obtained with an approximate but judiciously chosen reconstruction kernel. We describe the working of this reflection imaging modality and its theoretical handling, introduce an efficient and stable image reconstruction algorithm, and present simulation results to prove the validity of this choice as well as to demonstrate the feasibility of this imaging process.

Using Compton scattered radiation has turned out to be an attractive alternative to conventional emission imaging. In this paper, we propose a new two-dimensional emission imaging from Compton scattered gamma-rays. Its modeling leads to a Radon transform defined on a pair of half-lines forming a vertical letter V (TV). Moreover we establish the analytic inverse formula of this new TV, which forms the mathematical basis for image reconstruction. Through simulations, image formation and reconstruction results show the feasibility and the relevance of this new imaging. The main advantage is to use a one-dimensional non-moving detector for two-dimensional image reconstruction.

A new CST modality, has been proposed based on a Radon Transform over a family of circular arcs but no attenuation factor was taken into account. Reconstruction of the unknown electron density is achieved by the inversion of the corresponding circular-arcs Radon transform (CART). In this work, medium attenuation factor is considered in the modelling and we propose an iterative correction algorithm to compensate this issue.Thus the feasibility of this new CST modality under realistic working conditions is demonstrated.

We establish its analytic inverse formula, its related filtered back-projection reconstruction procedure and its numerical analysis. These theoretical results allow the reconstruction of two-dimensional images of a radiating object from its Compton scattered rays measured on a one-dimensional collimated camera. Numerical simulations results illustrate the performance of the new imaging process.

But due to the complexity of deriving a reconstruction formula based directly on these equations, other solutions are prefered to solve the mathematical problems in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Thus the modelling of SAR by a spherical Radon transform (SRT) appears as an interesting approach for the inversion of such data and could be used in some cases like high squint and ultra-wideband SAR. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed for the stable inversion of measurement (SRT) and simulation results demonstrate the theoretical feasibility and viability of the algorithm.

An imaging concept exploiting jointly two phenomena leads to a Radon transform defined on a geometrical support different from straight lines. In this paper, we propose a new two-dimensional X-ray imaging based on the coupling between transmission and reflection. Its modeling leads to a Radon transform defined on a pair of half-lines forming a vertical letter V, called V-line RT (V-RT). Moreover we establish the analytic inverse formula of this new transform, which forms the mathematical basis for image reconstruction. Through simulations, image formation and reconstruction results show the feasibility of this new imaging. The main advantage is the use of an one-dimensional detector which does not rotate for two-dimensional image reconstruction.
