Abstract: There are a method and a system for extracting a region of interest in an image obtained through a high-resolution camera installed in an autonomous vehicle. The method for extracting the region of interest based on a drivable region in the high-resolution camera includes a step of acquiring an image through the high-resolution camera; and a step of extracting, by a processor, a region of interest within the acquired image by using 3D drivable region information. Accordingly, far-distance information extraction performance may be enhanced, and all of the functions of a set of a wide angle camera and a narrow angle camera of HD may be performed only with one FHD or UHD wide angle camera, so that the number of sensors may be reduced and a production cost may be reduced.

Abstract: There are provided a scenario similarity retrieval-based automatic scenario generation system and method. According to an embodiment, a scenario retrieval-based automatic scenario generation method includes: retrieving scenarios similar to a query scenario from a scenario DB for an autonomous driving test; filtering only scenarios that meet a selection condition from the retrieved scenarios; and converting components of the filtered scenarios to suit a target condition. Accordingly, a desired scenario may be automatically generated by retrieving a scenario similar to a targeted scenario, converting the retrieved scenario, and concretizing the scenario.

Abstract: There is provided a VIL system-based autonomous driving function verification method. According to embodiments of the disclosure, a VIL system enables an autonomous vehicle to verify an autonomous driving function by interlocking with a virtual road environment in any other place, without having to go to a real test road corresponding to a simulated virtual road environment. Accordingly, an autonomous driving function can be rapidly verified based on a VIL system with respect to various virtual road environments without changing a driving place, so that speed and convenience in development of autonomous driving technology can be enhanced.

Abstract: A method of forming a polycide gate of a semiconductor device, including the steps of etching all the metal silicide layer by using a plasma, and etching the polysilicon layer by relatively decreasing power for increasing the energy of a particles constituting the plasma, as compared with that in the step of etching the metal silicide layer. A physically and functionally stable polycide gate can be simply and rapidly formed.
