The Effect of Data Augmentation Methods on Pedestrian Object Detection

Abstract

Night landscapes are a key area of monitoring and security as information in pictures caught on camera is not comprehensive. Data augmentation gives these limited datasets the most value. Considering night driving and dangerous events, it is important to achieve the better detection of people at night. This paper studies the impact of different data augmentation methods on target detection. For the image data collected at night under limited conditions, three different types of enhancement methods are used to verify whether they can promote pedestrian detection. This paper mainly explores supervised and unsupervised data augmentation methods with certain improvements, including multi-sample augmentation, unsupervised Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) augmentation and single-sample augmentation. It is concluded that the dataset obtained by the heterogeneous multi-sample augmentation method can optimize the target detection model, which can allow the mean average precision (mAP) of a night image to reach 0.76, and the improved Residual Convolutional GAN network, the unsupervised training model, can generate new samples with the same style, thus greatly expanding the dataset, so that the mean average precision reaches 0.854, and the single-sample enhancement of the deillumination can greatly improve the image clarity, helping improve the precision value by 0.116.

Toward the design of persuasive systems for a healthy workplace: a real-time posture detection

“…It introduces non-linearity among the outputs between layers of a neural network (Xu et al, 2020 ). The UpSampling2D layer is used to repeat the dimensions of the input to improve its quality (Liu et al, 2022 ; Keras 9 ). The ZeroPadding2D layer adds extra rows and columns of zeros around images to preserve their aspect ratio while being processed by the model (Dang et al, 2020 ; Keras 10 ).…”

Traditional vs. Automated Computer Image Analysis—A Comparative Assessment of Use for Analysis of Digital SEM Images of High-Temperature Ceramic Material

“…Often, we are unaware that image analysis accompanies us in our daily lives. Examples of this are traffic analysis, control of vehicle speed, and the detection of license plates [ 11 ], or pedestrian detection [ 12 ], which all point to smart city development [ 13 ]. Other examples of important industrial applications are monitoring the quality of rotors in wind turbines, which allows for early fault detection [ 7 , 8 ], and biometric security [ 14 , 15 ].…”

“…Deep learning models are widely employed in natural language processing [1,2], image recognition [3], etc. In addition, the performance of deep learning models depends on the number of annotated datasets [4], especially in specific fields, deep learning models are more dependent on annotated datasets.…”
