Object Detection in Twilight: Introduction

-
PES University – Intel India Technovation Contest 2020
CIE in collaboration with Department of CS & ECE 

The purpose of the activity would be to enhance the vision of the driver with other sensors or smarter algorithms that can work in low light scenarios – dusk, night, in lights from headlights, etc. The solution would be able to detect common objects like cars, two-wheelers, auto-rickshaws, pedestrians, riders in the night/low-light conditions. The system can be developed to work in the visible spectrum, infra-red, or ultra-sound. Target performance for an ideal scenario would have the algorithm running at 30Hz.

This project was carried out by a team of students from PES University-

Under the Guidance of Prof. Veena S., Department of ECE, PES University.

Object Detection: Basics of Computer Vision

-
Image
Object Detection, localizing objects in image frames, has been the focus of the Deep Learning, and Computer vision fraternity for decades now.  It plays a crucial role in the autonomous industry and the algorithms here can be used for Image classification, which indeed can be used almost everywhere. Basics Starting with the basics of Computer Vision,  first, we need to know about convolution filters and Image transformations. 1. Vertical Edge Detection Filter: As the name suggests, detecting vertical edges in an image. This can be an important filter when you want to detect something which has clear vertical lines, like boxes, sudoku grid, tables, and graphs. Example:  [[1,0,-1], [1,0,-1], [1,0,-1]],  Sobel Filter and Scharr Filter. 2. Padding: Padding is basically adding pixels to the borders. It is a really helpful tool when it comes to changing the image size to fit the input size of the layers/nodes. It helps in avoiding the Shrinking Problem and information...
