Automatic Detection of Helmets on Motorcyclists Using Faster - RCNN

Abstract

Motorcycles have been a popular choice for a go-to daily means of transportation due to its lower price, making it affordable for high to low-class citizens. Helmets are required for every motorcycle owner so that the rider’s head is protected from accidents. However, not many people follow the rules and tend to not wear helmets and plenty of them underestimate the usage of helmets. For this, it is necessary to implement a system that can detect which rider wears the helmet or not by applying deep learning techniques. This paper aims to implement one of the deep learning techniques, which is Faster R – CNN to detect the helmets and the motorcyclists. After training 400 images using different learning rates, the mean average precision (mAP) achieved the highest with 87% using the learning rate of 0.0001
