Submission includes all required files and can be used to run the simulator in autonomous mode My project includes the following files: * model.py containing script to create and train model * drive.py for driving car in autonomous mode * model.h5 containing a trained convolution neural network * writeup_report.md summarizing the results #### How was it done? - `model.py` is based on [NVIDIA architecture](https://devblogs.nvidia.com/deep-learning-self-driving-cars/) but I made few changes: - First I added cropping layer which crops top part of image because it contains useless information like sky or trees. - Then I added normalization layer so all values would be between -0.5 anf +0.5. - After that I added dropout layers after every convolutional layer because it helps prevent overfitting. - At last I added dense layer before output layer so it would be able to make more complex decisions. - To collect training data I drove around track one twice - once clockwise then once counter-clockwise. - After that I augmented training data by adding flipped images - so if car is turning left then flipped image will make it turn right. - Also I augmented training data by using left/right camera images - so if car is driving straight then left camera image will make it turn left while right camera image will make it turn right. - In order to come up with final model architecture (and fusion strategy), I did following steps: 1. Started with NVIDIA architecture as baseline. 2. Added cropping layer because top part of image doesn't contain useful information. 3. Added normalization layer because it helps reduce effect of lightning conditions. 4. Added dropout layers because they help prevent overfitting. 5. Added dense layer before output layer because it gives model more power so it would be able make more complex decisions. 6. Tested my model by running simulator autonomously - first on track one then on track two. #### How do you think your model might perform if you used an even larger dataset? It would probably improve performance on both tracks but there is no need since model works fine already. #### Problem encountered while collecting data? One problem was that car had trouble going around sharp turns - especially when turning right around sharp corners like those at beginning or end of track two. #### Solution? In order solve this problem I collected more data at those places by doing some recovery driving. ### Model Architecture and Training Strategy #### Model Architecture ![alt text][image1] Here is an example architecture: ![alt text][image1] #### Training Strategy To train my model I did following steps: 1. First I collected training data by driving around track one twice - once clockwise then once counter-clockwise. 2. After that I augmented training data by adding flipped images - so if car is turning left then flipped image will make it turn right. 3. Also I augmented training data by using left/right camera images - so if car is driving straight then left camera image will make it turn left while right camera image will make it turn right. 4. Then I splitted data into training set (80%) anf validation set (20%). 5. Finally I trained my model using Adam optimizer with default parameters. #### How long did it take? Training took about an hour. #### What approach did you take in coming up with your architecture? I started out using NVIDIA architecture as baseline but later I made few changes as described above. ### Model Parameter Tuning #### What are your hyperparameters? Hyperparameters were as follows: Adam optimizer default parameters: -
