Abstract

Traffic vehicle detection and recognition is a core technology of advanced driver assistant system (ADSD) for the intelligent vehicle. In this paper, we employ the convolution neural network (CNN) to perform the end-to-end vehicle detection and recognition.

Two vehicle classification CNNs are proposed. One is a convolution neural network consisting of four convolution layers and another is a multi-label classification network. The first networks can achieve the accuracy more than 95% while the second can achieve the accuracy more than 98%. Due to the multiple constraints, the proposed multi-label classification network is able to converge fast and achieve higher accuracy.

The vehicle detection model proposed in this paper is a model on the basis of the network model single shot multibox detector (SSD). Our network model employs the network proposed for vehicle classification as a basis network for feature extraction and design a multi-label loss for detection. The proposed network structure can achieve 77.31% mAP on the vehicle detection dataset. Compared with that of SSD network model, the obtained mAP is improved by 2.17%. The processing speed of proposed vehicle detection network can reach 12FPS, which can meet the real-time requirements.
