Research from Tongji University Provide New Insights into Sensor Research (An Adaptive Vehicle Detection Model for Traffic Surveillance of Highway Tunnels Considering Luminance Intensity)

2024 OCT 02 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Tech Daily News -- A new study on sensor research is now available.

Article Description

Vehicle detection is essential for road traffic surveillance and active safety management. Deep learning methods have recently shown robust feature extraction capabilities and achieved improved detection results. However, vehicle detection models often perform poorly under abnormal lighting conditions, especially in highway tunnels. We proposed an adaptive vehicle detection model that accounts for varying luminance intensities to address this issue. The model categorizes the image data into abnormal and normal luminance scenarios. We employ an improved CycleGAN with edge loss as the adaptive luminance adjustment module for abnormal luminance scenarios. This module adjusts the brightness of the images to a normal level through a generative network. Finally, YOLOv7 is utilized for vehicle detection. The experimental results demonstrate that our adaptive vehicle detection model effectively detects vehicles under abnormal luminance scenarios in highway tunnels. The improved CycleGAN can effectively mitigate edge generation distortion. Under abnormal luminance scenarios, our model achieved a 16.3% improvement in precision, a 1.7% improvement in recall, and a 9.8% improvement in mAP_0.5 compared to the original YOLOv7. Additionally, our adaptive luminance adjustment module is transferable and can enhance the detection accuracy of other vehicle detection models.
