Research on Expressway Traffic Event Detection at Night Based on Mask-SpyNet

Abstract

Expressway traffic event detection at night is essential for improving rescue efficiency and avoiding secondary accidents. Most expressways in China have built a complete Expressway video monitoring system. However, at night, the expressway traffic event detection still adopts manual detection, which is inefficient. In this dissertation, the strategy of expressway traffic event detection at night has been analysed first. On this basis, by combining the Mask method and SpyNet deep learning, this study develops a night highway vehicle detection deep learning network with a dense optical flow formed by night vehicle light flow as the detection object. Finally, the Deepsort algorithm is used to track and measure the velocity of the detected target. The measured data are used to compare the background difference method, classical optical flow method, YOLO-v3 and proposed method in this paper. The results show that the proposed method has the advantages of high detection accuracy and fast detection speed.INDEX TERMS Expressway traffic event detection at night, Image processing, Mask algorithm, SpyNet.

MC-YOLO-Based Lightweight Detection Method for Nighttime Vehicle Images in a Semantic Web-Based Video Surveillance System

“…Compared to other detection technologies (Zhao et al, 2022;Ding et al, 2022;, semantic Web-based video surveillance has several advantages, including convenient installation and maintenance, no need to interrupt traffic, low cost, large amounts of analyzable information, and no impact on road life. Currently, this technology is experiencing rapid development (Tsai & Chen, 2021;Mo et al, 2022;.…”

Comparison of Potential Road Accident Detection Algorithms for Modern Machine Vision System

“…There is a need to develop methods that can detect and notify drivers of potential dangers in areas that are currently beyond the capabilities of existing ADAS systems to scan for obstacles of varying types [6][7][8].…”
