Vehicle Detection in Deep Learning

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Computer vision techniques are becoming increasingly popular. For example, face recognition is used to help police find criminals, vehicle detection is used to prevent drivers from serious traffic accidents, and written word recognition is used to convert written words into printed words. With the rapid development of vehicle detection given the use of deep learning techniques, there are still concerns about the performance of state-of-the-art vehicle detection techniques. For example, state-of-the-art vehicle detectors are restricted by the large variation of scales. People working on vehicle detection are developing techniques to solve this problem. This thesis proposes an advanced vehicle detection model, adopting one of the classical neural networks, which are the residual neural network and the region proposal network. The model utilizes the residual neural network as a feature extractor and the region proposal network to detect the potential objects' information.
