Abstract:

In order to improve the accuracy of road target detection in the field of road traffic safety, an innovative infrared and visible fusion and detection network is established by borrowing the idea of multi-level feature image fusion for fusion in image fusion technology and the idea of Ghost bottleneck module building in GPNet to reduce the complexity of the algorithm. The network is divided into three parts: selective image fusion module, lightweight target detection module and fusion quality and detection accuracy discriminative network. Three sets of experiments were conducted as data sets under urban working conditions with an average vehicle speed of 30-40 km/h in daytime, nighttime and special weather (rain, fog, etc.). Experimental results: the highest average gradient lift of 5.648 81, cross-entropy of 0.936 68, edge strength of 56.945 7, information entropy of 0.925 208 781, mutual information of 1.000 548 571, peak signal-to-noise ratio 3.053 893 252, Qab0.342 882 208, Qcb0.208 983 81 and mean square error reduction of 0.08. The AP, mAP and Recall of the output of the lightweight target detection network are all at the optimal level, which verifies the advantages of the innovative application of infrared and visible light technologies for road obstacle detection.
