Energy-efficient real-time visual image adversarial generation and processing algorithm for new energy vehicles

With the rapid development of deep learning in the last decade, generating and processing real-time images have become one of critical methods in intelligent driving systems for new energy vehicles. However, the real-time images captured by sensors are susceptible to variations in various environments, including different weather and lighting conditions. To enhance the real-time image generation performance for new energy vehicles in complex environments, and improve real-time visual image processing capabilities, this study proposes an energy-efficient real-time visual image adversarial generation and processing algorithm, called as ENV-GAN. It hypothesizes a shared latent domain among mixed image domains after analyzing driving situations under various weather and lighting conditions. Mappings are established between different image domains. Besides, a multi-encoder weight-sharing technique is utilized to enhances the generative adversarial network model. Additionally, the algorithm integrates an attention module to enhance the model’s image generation. Experimental results and analysis demonstrate that the new algorithm outperforms existing algorithms in tasks such as defogging, rain removal, and lighting enhancement, offering high energy efficiency and low energy consumption.
