Drive Video Analysis for the Detection of Traffic Near-Miss Incidents
Because of their recent introduction, self-driving cars and advanced driver
assistance system (ADAS) equipped vehicles have had little opportunity to
learn, the dangerous traffic (including near-miss incident) scenarios that
provide normal drivers with strong motivation to drive safely. Accordingly, as
a means of providing learning depth, this paper presents a novel traffic
database that contains information on a large number of traffic near-miss
incidents that were obtained by mounting driving recorders in more than 100
taxis over the course of a decade. The study makes the following two main
contributions: (i) In order to assist automated systems in detecting near-miss
incidents based on database instances, we created a large-scale traffic
near-miss incident database (NIDB) that consists of video clip of dangerous
events captured by monocular driving recorders. (ii) To illustrate the
applicability of NIDB traffic near-miss incidents, we provide two primary
database-related improvements: parameter fine-tuning using various near-miss
scenes from NIDB, and foreground/background separation into motion
representation. Then, using our new database in conjunction with a monocular
driving recorder, we developed a near-miss recognition method that provides
automated systems with a performance level that is comparable to a human-level
understanding of near-miss incidents (64.5% vs. 68.4% at near-miss recognition,
61.3% vs. 78.7% at near-miss detection).Comment: Accepted to ICRA 201
