The vehicle detection algorithm is an important part of the intelligent transportation system. The accuracy of the algorithm will determine whether accurate vehicle information can be obtained. The system contains several functional modules, including signal amplification, wireless communication, A/D converter, and sensor set/reset functions. To detect all the intersection vehicles, a number of magnetoresistive sensors are connected to the computer system through the wireless communication module, and then, the detected vehicle information will be transferred back to the master host computer. In this paper, two common vehicle detection algorithms, fixed threshold algorithm and adaptive threshold algorithm, were analyzed in the vehicle detection system with magnetoresistive sensors, simultaneously. Finally, an improved multi-intermediate state machine algorithm for vehicle detection was proposed. Using the intermediate state, this algorithm cannot only detect when the vehicle enters the detection area but also decide whether the vehicle leaves the sensor node or not. In this way, it improves the detection accuracy.

Gait phase detection, which detects foot-contact and foot-off states during walking, is important for various applications, such as synchronous robotic assistance and health monitoring. Gait phase detection systems have been proposed with various wearable devices, sensing inertial, electromyography, or force myography information. In this paper, we present a novel gait phase detection system with static standing-based calibration using muscle deformation information. The gait phase detection algorithm can be calibrated within a short time using muscle deformation data by standing in several postures; it is not necessary to collect data while walking for calibration. A logistic regression algorithm is used as the machine learning algorithm, and the probability output is adjusted based on the angular velocity of the sensor. An experiment is performed with 10 subjects, and the detection accuracy of foot-contact and foot-off states is evaluated using video data for each subject. The median accuracy is approximately 90% during walking based on calibration for 60 s, which shows the feasibility of the static standing-based calibration method using muscle deformation information for foot-contact and foot-off state detection.

Vehicle detection is one of the most important environment perception tasks for autonomous vehicles. The traditional vision-based vehicle detection methods are not accurate enough especially for small and occluded targets, while the light detection and ranging- (lidar-) based methods are good in detecting obstacles but they are time-consuming and have a low classification rate for different target types. Focusing on these shortcomings to make the full use of the advantages of the depth information of lidar and the obstacle classification ability of vision, this work proposes a real-time vehicle detection algorithm which fuses vision and lidar point cloud information. Firstly, the obstacles are detected by the grid projection method using the lidar point cloud information. Then, the obstacles are mapped to the image to get several separated regions of interest (ROIs). After that, the ROIs are expanded based on the dynamic threshold and merged to generate the final ROI. Finally, a deep learning method named You Only Look Once (YOLO) is applied on the ROI to detect vehicles. The experimental results on the KITTI dataset demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has high detection accuracy and good real-time performance. Compared with the detection method based only on the YOLO deep learning, the mean average precision (mAP) is increased by 17%.

Since the 1990s, the rising key issue of the automobile industry is self-driving or driverless vehicles. Apparently, one of the most important challenges for smart self-driving cars comprises lane-detecting and lane-tracking capability to ensure safety and also decrease vehicle accidents for driver assistance systems. Since road lane detection is one of the most challenging tasks, driverless vehicles must learn to observe the road from a visual perspective in order to achieve automatic driving. Most of the research Works done so far can only detect the lanes or vehicles separately. However, in this paper, we propose a method to combine lane information and vehicle/obstacle information that can support the driver assistance system, driver warning system or the lane change assistant system so that it enhances the quality of results. For the lane changing system, the system detects or tracks the lane lines and detects the vehicles on all sides of a test vehicle. In lane detection, line detection algorithms such as the Canny Edge detection algorithm are used to detect the lane edges. Kalman filter will be used to track the vehicle detected from the vehicle detection algorithm. For vehicle detection, we use Otsu’s thresholding, horizontal edge filtering and vertical edge. The vertical edge filter and the Otsu’s thresholding are used to detect the vehicles on all sides of the test vehicles, then the horizontal edge is used to verify the vehicles detected.

Realtime on-road vehicle detection is a key technology in many transportation applications, such as driver assistance, autonomous driving and active safety. A vehicle detection algorithm based on cascaded structure is introduced. Haar-like features are used to built model in this application, and GAB algorithm is chosen to train the strong classifiers. Then, the real-time on-road vehicle classifier based on cascaded structure is constructed by combining the strong classifiers. Experimental results show that the cascaded classifier is excellent in both detection accuracy and computational efficiency, which ensures its application to collision warning system.

Vehicle detection is an essential part of an intelligent traffic system, which is an important research field in drone application. Because unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are rarely configured with stable camera platforms, aerial images are easily blurred. There is a challenge for detectors to accurately locate vehicles in blurred images in the target detection process. To improve the detection performance of blurred images, an end-to-end adaptive vehicle detection algorithm (DCNet) for drones is proposed in this article. First, the clarity evaluation module is used to determine adaptively whether the input image is a blurred image using improved information entropy. An improved GAN called Drone-GAN is proposed to enhance the vehicle features of blurred images. Extensive experiments were performed, the results of which show that the proposed method can detect both blurred and clear images well in poor environments (complex illumination and occlusion). The detector proposed achieves larger gains compared with SOTA detectors. The proposed method can enhance the vehicle feature details in blurred images effectively and improve the detection accuracy of blurred aerial images, which shows good performance with regard to resistance to shake.

A three-dimensional motion capture system is a useful tool for analysing gait patterns during walking or exercising, and it is frequently applied in biomechanical studies. However, most of them are expensive. This study designs a low-cost gait detection system with high accuracy and reliability that is an alternative method/equipment in the gait detection field to the most widely used commercial system, the virtual user concept (Vicon) system. The proposed system integrates mass-produced low-cost sensors/chips in a compact size to collect kinematic data. Furthermore, an x86 mini personal computer (PC) running at 100 Hz classifies motion data in real-time. To guarantee gait detection accuracy, the embedded gait detection algorithm adopts a multilayer perceptron (MLP) model and a rule-based calibration filter to classify kinematic data into five distinct gait events: heel-strike, foot-flat, heel-off, toe-off, and initial-swing. To evaluate performance, volunteers are requested to walk on the treadmill at a regular walking speed of 4.2 km/h while kinematic data are recorded by a low-cost system and a Vicon system simultaneously. The gait detection accuracy and relative time error are estimated by comparing the classified gait events in the study with the Vicon system as a reference. The results show that the proposed system obtains a high accuracy of 99.66% with a smaller time error (32 ms), demonstrating that it performs similarly to the Vicon system in the gait detection field.

Numerous vehicle detection methods have been proposed to obtain trustworthy traffic data for the development of intelligent traffic systems. Most of these methods perform sufficiently well under common scenarios, such as sunny or cloudy days; however, the detection accuracy drastically decreases under various bad weather conditions, such as rainy days or days with glare, which normally happens during sunset. This study proposes a vehicle detection system with a visibility complementation module that improves detection accuracy under various bad weather conditions. Furthermore, the proposed system can be implemented without retraining the deep learning models for object detection under different weather conditions. The complementation of the visibility was obtained through the use of a dark channel prior and a convolutional encoder–decoder deep learning network with dual residual blocks to resolve different effects from different bad weather conditions. We validated our system on multiple surveillance videos by detecting vehicles with the You Only Look Once (YOLOv3) deep learning model and demonstrated that the computational time of our system could reach 30 fps on average; moreover, the accuracy increased not only by nearly 5% under low-contrast scene conditions but also 50% under rainy scene conditions. The results of our demonstrations indicate that our approach is able to detect vehicles under various bad weather conditions without the need to retrain a new model.
