Abstract:
In this paper, a new multi-modal traffic scene simulation framework with combined inputs of road image sequences and road information from Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is proposed. The proposed framework contains two major steps, with the first one being a preprocessing step, including 3D road model extraction, camera location and orientation estimation and lane extraction from both GIS and road image sequences. After such preprocessing, the traffic scene reconstruction is reformulated into a 6-degree of freedom (6DoF) pose estimation in the 3D road model. Subsequently, the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm is exploited for coarse point registration by estimating the pose in the road model. In addition, an objective function is established to incorporate the image features (e.g., lanes) into the road model and to refine the pose estimation. In the experiments with the publicly available KITTI dataset, the proposed method achieves high average Intersection-over-Union (IoU) scores as compared to the ground truth image sequences.
