Generative adversarial networks (GANs) and object tracking (OT) for vehicle accident detection

Abstract

Accident detection is one of the biggest challenges as there are various anomalies, occlusions, and objects in the image at different times. Therefore, this paper focuses on detecting traffic accidents through a combination of Object Tracking (OT) and image generation using GAN with variants such as skip connection, residual, and attention connection. The background removal techniques will be applied to reduce the background variation in the frame. Later, YOLO-R is used to detect objects, followed by DeepSort tracking of objects in the frame. Finally, the distance error metric and the adversarial error are determined using the Kalman filter and the GAN approach and help to decide accidents in videos.
