SDA: A NOVEL SKEWED-DEEP-ARCHITECTURE FOR VEHICLE MOTION DETECTION IN DRIVING VIDEOS

Collision avoidance mechanisms are important topics for studies in the field of autonomous vehicles. We could obtain prior information about the collision from the movement angles of vehicles. Therefore, it is important issue to learn the movement angles of vehicles in motion. In the study, an architectural model is developed that learns the horizontal movement angles of vehicles to form a base for collision warning systems. YOLOv3 is modified and used on motion profiles. Thanks to the learned angle values, also the bounding boxes match the traces in the motion profiles smoothly. The results obtained have a mAP value of 79% and an operating speed of 36 FPS. These results are better than when trained on motion profiles of the YOLOv3 architecture. In addition, the use of the new architecture on motion profiles and factors such as noise and bad weather in the image do not adversely affect the results. With these features, a fundamental step has been taken for anti-collision systems.
