Real-Time Vehicle-Detection Method in Bird-View Unmanned-Aerial-Vehicle Imagery.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland) | 2019

Vehicle detection is an important research area that provides background information for the diversity of unmanned-aerial-vehicle (UAV) applications. In this paper, we propose a vehicle-detection method using a convolutional-neural-network (CNN)-based object detector. We design our method, DRFBNet300, with a Deeper Receptive Field Block (DRFB) module that enhances the expressiveness of feature maps to detect small objects in the UAV imagery. We also propose the UAV-cars dataset that includes the composition and angular distortion of vehicles in UAV imagery to train our DRFBNet300. Lastly, we propose a Split Image Processing (SIP) method to improve the accuracy of the detection model. Our DRFBNet300 achieves 21 mAP with 45 FPS in the MS COCO metric, which is the highest score compared to other lightweight single-stage methods running in real time. In addition, DRFBNet300, trained on the UAV-cars dataset, obtains the highest AP score at altitudes of 20-50 m. The gap of accuracy improvement by applying the SIP method became larger when the altitude increases. The DRFBNet300 trained on the UAV-cars dataset with SIP method operates at 33 FPS, enabling real-time vehicle detection.

RESNET (tool)

RRID:SCR_002121

Databases that represent sets of pre-compiled information on biological relationships and associations, interactions and facts which have been extracted from the biomedical literature using Ariadne's MedScan technology. ResNet databases store information harvested from the entire PubMed in a formal structure that allows searching, retrieval and updating by Pathway Studio user. ResNet is seamlessly installed when Pathway Studio is installed. There are several available ResNet databases: *ResNet Mammalian Database includes data for Human, Rat, and Mouse *ResNet Plant Database has data on Arabidopsis, Rice and several other plants. Features of ResNet: *All extracted relations have linked access to the original article or abstract *Synonyms and homologs are included to maintain gene identity and to obviate redundancy in search results *Users can update ResNet as often as required using the MedScan technology built into all Ariadne products *Updates are made available by Ariadne every quarter To purchase Pathway Studio software with ResNet database, for information, or to schedule a web demonstration, call our sales department at (240) 453-6272, or (866) 340-5040 (toll free).
