Abstract:
Road surface monitoring in winter conditions is of great importance to ensure the safety of road users. Estimation of snow coverage on roads can be included in intelligent transportation systems to alert drivers or improve snow removal processes. Several models have been proposed for estimating snow coverage using surveillance cameras, but these models have focused on predicting few snow levels, which limits their usefulness in practice. In this paper, we present a model that allows a more granular estimation of the percentage of road surface covered by snow by predicting snow coverage from 0% (no snow) to 100% (fully snow-covered) using increments of 10%. We propose an ensemble learning model combining a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) and a support-vector machine (SVM). The accuracy of our model is similar to the state-of-the-art accuracy despite the higher task complexity associated with the increased granularity of predictions.
