Shallow Networks for High-Accuracy Road Object-Detection

Understand

The ability to automatically detect other vehicles on the road is vital to the safety of partially-autonomous and fully-autonomous vehicles.

• Most of the high-accuracy techniques for this task are based on R-CNN or one of its faster variants.
• In the research community, much emphasis has been applied to using 3D vision or complex R-CNN variants to achieve higher accuracy.
• However, are there more straightforward modifications that could deliver higher accuracy? Yes.
