The AV Perception
Starter Kit.
Battle-tested in Silicon Valley.

12 weeks of Python code, Docker environment configs, and field notes from someone who spent three years building 3D perception systems at an autonomous driving company — not teaching theory, but shipping production models.

Waymo & NuScenes datasets included Docker / Conda ready-to-run GitHub repo with full history 100% free, no credit card

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Everything I wish I had when I started in AV.

Three years of lessons compressed into a toolkit you can actually run on your machine today.

🐍
12 Weeks of Runnable Python Code
Each week builds on the last — from NumPy vectorization to a complete end-to-end 3D detector. Every file runs out of the box. No tutorial-ware.
Python · NumPy · PyTorch
🐳
Zero-Setup Docker Environment
A single docker-compose up command gives you a GPU-ready container with CUDA, PyTorch, Open3D, and all sensor fusion libraries pre-installed.
Docker · CUDA · Conda
🗂
Real Dataset Parsing Scripts
TFRecord readers for Waymo Open Dataset and NuScenes loaders — including the calibration math most tutorials skip. Parse your first real LiDAR frame in under 10 minutes.
Waymo · NuScenes · Protobuf
🚧
The Pitfall Guide
A brutally honest doc of every mistake I made in my first year — wrong coordinate frames, miscalibrated extrinsics, leaky validation sets. Avoid 3 months of pain in 20 minutes.
Field Notes · Anti-patterns
📊
Evaluation & mAP Framework
Production-style evaluation scripts with IoU-based matching, precision-recall curves, and the KITTI mAP metrics — the same metrics used in industry benchmarks.
mAP · IoU · NMS

Private GitHub Repo Access
Full commit history so you can see how the code evolved week by week. Not a final polished snapshot — the messy, real process of building something that works.

12-WEEK CURRICULUM

From linear algebra to a deployed model.

Structured as a progressive build — each week you ship something real, not just read theory.

W1
Linear Algebra & Calculus
3D rotation matrices + point cloud displacement viz
W2
Python Vectorization
Filter 100k LiDAR points with zero for-loops
W3
Waymo Dataset Parsing
Extract your first real frame — image + point cloud
W4
Geometric 3D Projection
Project 3D boxes onto camera images
W5
Deep Learning from Scratch
NumPy-only MLP forward pass — no PyTorch
W6
CV Foundations: CNN & ViT
Image backbone + self-attention from scratch
W7
3D Perception Models
PointNet + BEV projection tensor
W8
Model Training Pipeline
Full loop with IoU Loss + overfitting check
W9
Sensor Fusion
Camera-LiDAR geometric alignment
W10
Temporal Modeling
Kalman tracker through occlusion
W11
Capstone: E2E Detector
Integrated 3D detector with mAP evaluation
W12
Optimization & Deployment
PTQ INT8 quantization + inference profiling

IS THIS FOR YOU?

I built this for people who want to build, not just read.

✓ This is for you if

You can write Python and want to break into AV/robotics ML
You've read papers but can't connect theory to working code
You're spending hours on environment setup instead of learning
You want to build a portfolio project with real-world datasets
You prefer learning from code that actually runs in production

✗ This is NOT for you if

You expect a step-by-step lecture with no independent thinking
You've never written a Python function before
You want a guaranteed job offer at the end
You're looking for shortcut prompts to pass interviews without understanding

Why trust this?

Built by someone still in the arena.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer at an autonomous driving company in Silicon Valley, working on 3D perception systems. I'm not a full-time educator or influencer — I write code at work every day, then document what I learn here.

This kit is not a course I sell. It's the study system I built for myself, open-sourced because I believe the best way to learn is to work through real problems with real data — not synthetic textbook examples.
