TRACE - Home

TRACE is a network of high-caliber research labs in Europe, focusing on computer vision technology for automated cars. TRACE works closely with other research units within the Toyota family. First of all, there are constant interactions with Toyota Motor Europe (TME), near Brussels. Furthermore, there is a tight collaboration with the Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) in Tokyo. Last but not least, we also work together with our colleagues at the Toyota Research Institute (TRI) in the USA (at Palo Alto, Ann Arbor, and Cambridge).

KU Leuven

ESAT-PSI performs research in the areas of computer vision and speech analysis. This research is based on advanced signal processing and machine learning. Within the context of TRACE, the lab's main focus is on the computer vision aspects of autonomous driving.

Un. of Cambridge

The Machine Intelligence Laboratory focuses on speech processing and control applications, computer vision and robotics, and medical imaging. The guiding principle of all research in the laboratory is that a well-designed engineering system must be based on a sound mathematical model.

Max Planck Institut

The computer vision and multimodal computing department has been founded by Bernt Schiele in 2010 and currently consists of four research groups headed by Bjoern Andres, Andreas Bulling, Mario Fritz, and Bernt Schiele.

CTU Prague

The Center for Machine Perception (CMP) was established at the Czech Technical University in Prague in 1995. The mission of CMP is to provide and to develop a stimulating and open research environment for groups and scientists sharing common interests in Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Robotics.

ETH Zürich

The Computer Vision Laboratory, ETH Zurich, works on the computer-based interpretation of 2D and 3D image data sets from conventional and non-conventional image sources. The computer vision lab performs research in the fields of Medical Image Analysis and Visualization, Object Recognition, Gesture Analysis, Tracking, and Scene Understanding and Modeling.

Visit of Toyota Japan to TRACE Labs

Representatives from TMC, TME, and TRI met researchers from the different TRACE teams at KU Leuven on December 8th, 2016. Synergies were explored and the goals for the coming period were defined.

CVPR 20 Workshop: Vision for all seasons

The aim of this by TRACE sponsored workshop is to promote research into the design of robust vision algorithms for adverse weather and illumination conditions.
