Application of SSD network algorithm in panoramic video image vehicle detection system

Abstract Due to the popularity of high-performance cameras and the development of computer video pattern recognition technology, intelligent video monitoring technology is widely used in all aspects of social life. It mainly includes the following: industrial control system uses video monitoring technology for remote monitoring and comprehensive monitoring; in addition, intelligent video monitoring technology is also widely used in the agricultural field, for example, farm administrators can view the activities of animals in real time through smart phones, and agricultural experts can predict future weather changes according to the growth of crops. In the implementation of intelligent monitoring system, automatic detection of vehicles in images is an important topic. The construction of China’s Intelligent Transportation System started late, especially in video traffic detection. Although there are many related studies on video traffic detection algorithms, these algorithms usually only analyze and process information from a single sensor. This article describes the application of the single-shot detector (SSD) network algorithm in a panoramic video image vehicle detection system. The purpose of this article is to investigate the effectiveness of the SSD network algorithm in a panoramic video image vehicle detection system. The experimental results show that the detection accuracy of a single convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm is only 0.7554, the recall rate is 0.9052, and the comprehensive detection accuracy is 0.8235. The detection accuracy of SSD network algorithm is 0.8720, recall rate is 0.9397, and the comprehensive detection accuracy is 0.9046, which is higher than that of single CNN algorithm. Thus, the proposed SSD network algorithm is compared with a single convolution network algorithm. It is more suitable for vehicle detection, and it plays an important role in panoramic video image vehicle detection.
