Abstract
The deployment of autonomous vehicles has the potential to significantly lessen the variety of current harmful externalities, (such as accidents, traffic congestion, security, and environmental degradation), making autonomous vehicles an emerging topic of research. In this paper, a literature review of autonomous vehicle development has been conducted with a notable finding that autonomous vehicles will inevitably become an indispensable future greener solution. Subsequently, 5 different deep learning models, YOLOv5s, EfficientNet-B7, Xception, MobilenetV3, and InceptionV4, have been built and analyzed for 2-D object recognition in the navigation system. While testing on the BDD100K dataset, YOLOv5s and EfficientNet-B7 appear to be the two best models. Finally, this study has proposed Hessian, Laplacian, and Hessian-based Ridge Detection filtering techniques to optimize the performance of those 2 models. The results demonstrate that these filters could increase the mean average precision by up to 11.81%, and reduce detection time by up to 43.98% when applied to YOLOv5s and EfficientNet-B7 models. Overall, all the experiment results are promising and could be extended to other domains for semantic understanding of the environment. Additionally, various filtering algorithms for multiple object detection and classification could be applied to other areas. Different recommendations and future work have been clearly defined in this study.
