The scalar neurons of convolutional neural networks cannot express the feature location information,and have poor adaptability to the complex vehicle driving environment,resulting in low traffic sign recognition rate. Therefore,an intelligent traffic sign recognition method based on capsule network was proposed. Firstly,the very deep convolutional neural network was used to improve the feature extraction part. Then,a pooling layer was introduced in the main capsule layer. Finally,the movement index average method was used for improving the dynamic routing algorithm. The test results on the GTSRB dataset show that the improved capsule network method improves the recognition accuracy in special scenes by 10. 02 percentage points. Compared with the traditional convolutional neural network,the proposed method has the recognition time for single image decreased by 2. 09 ms. Experimental results show that the improved capsule network method can meet the requirement of accurate and real-time traffic sign recognition.

Journal of Computer Applications    2020, 40 (10): 2881-2889.   DOI: 10.11772/j.issn.1001-9081.2020020152

To improve the performance of vehicle classification by making full use of image information from traffic surveillance, Histogram of Oriented Gradient Convolutional (HOG-C) features extraction method was added on the capsule network, and a Capsule Network model fusing with HOG-C features (HOG-C CapsNet) was proposed. Firstly, the gradient data in the images were calculated by the gradient statistical feature extraction layer, and then the Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) feature map was plotted. Secondly, the color information of the image was extracted by the convolutional layer, and then the HOG-C feature map was plotted with the extracted color information and HOG feature map. Finally, the HOG feature map was input into to the convolutional layer extract its abstract features, and the abstract features were encapsulated through a capsule network into capsules with the three-dimensional spatial feature representation, so as to realize the vehicle classification by dynamic routing algorithm. Compared with other related models on the BIT-Vehicle dataset, the proposed model has the accuracy of 98.17%, the Mean Average Precision (MAP) of 97.98%, the Mean Average Recall (MAR) of 98.42% and the comprehensive evaluation index of 98.20%. Experimental results show that the vehicle classification in traffic surveillance scenarios can be achieved with better performance by using HOG-C CapsNet.

DU Mingben, CHEN Lichao, PAN Lihu
Journal of Computer Applications    2015, 35 (5): 1435-1438.   DOI: 10.11772/j.issn.1001-9081.2015.05.1435

Concerning the problem that videos images captured from coal mines filled with coal dust and mist are often with quality problems such as lots of noise, low resolution and blur. To solve this problem, an enhancement algorithm for fog and dust images in coal mine based on dark channel prior theory and bilateral adaptive filter was proposed. On the basis of dark channel prior, the softmatting process was replaced with the adaptive bilateral filtering to obtain fine transmittance map. Then according to the special circumstances of coal mines, the global atmosphere light and the rough transmittance map were got from new perspective and image denoising was realized on the basis of the image degradation model. The experiment results show that the image processing time for a resolution of 1024×576 is 1.9 s. Compared with He algorithm (HE K, SUN J, TANG X. Single image haze removal using dark channel prior. IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 2011,33(12):1-13.), the efficiency increased 5 times.Compared with other algorithms such as histogram equalization method, the proposed algorithm is effective to enhance the image detail. In this way, images can be more suitable for human vision as a whole.
