autoware_traffic_light_classifier

Purpose

autoware_traffic_light_classifier is a package for classifying traffic light labels using cropped image around a traffic light. This package has two classifier models: cnn_classifier and hsv_classifier.

Inner-workings / Algorithms

If height and width of ~/input/rois is 0, color, shape, and confidence of ~/output/traffic_signals become UNKNOWN, CIRCLE, and 0.0. If ~/input/rois is judged as backlight, color, shape, and confidence of ~/output/traffic_signals become UNKNOWN, UNKNOWN, and 0.0.

cnn_classifier

Traffic light labels are classified by EfficientNet-b1 or MobileNet-v2.
We trained classifiers for vehicular signals and pedestrian signals separately. For vehicular signals, a total of 83400 (58600 for training, 14800 for evaluation and 10000 for test) TIER IV internal images of Japanese traffic lights were used for fine-tuning.

Name Input Size Test Accuracy
EfficientNet-b1 128 x 128 99.76%
MobileNet-v2 224 x 224 99.81%

For pedestrian signals, a total of 21199 (17860 for training, 2114 for evaluation and 1225 for test) TIER IV internal images of Japanese traffic lights were used for fine-tuning.
The information of the models is listed here:

Name Input Size Test Accuracy
EfficientNet-b1 128 x 128 97.89%
MobileNet-v2 224 x 224 99.10%

hsv_classifier

Traffic light colors (green, yellow and red) are classified in HSV model.

About Label

The message type is designed to comply with the unified road signs proposed at the Vienna Convention. This idea has been also proposed in Autoware.Auto.

There are rules for naming labels that nodes receive. One traffic light is represented by the following character string separated by commas. color1-shape1, color2-shape2 .

For example, the simple red and red cross traffic light label must be expressed as “red-circle, red-cross”.

These colors and shapes are assigned to the message as follows: TrafficLightDataStructure.jpg

autoware_traffic_light_classifier

Purpose

autoware_traffic_light_classifier is a package for classifying traffic light labels using cropped image around a traffic light. This package has two classifier models: cnn_classifier and hsv_classifier.

Inner-workings / Algorithms

If height and width of ~/input/rois is 0, color, shape, and confidence of ~/output/traffic_signals become UNKNOWN, CIRCLE, and 0.0. If ~/input/rois is judged as backlight, color, shape, and confidence of ~/output/traffic_signals become UNKNOWN, UNKNOWN, and 0.0.

cnn_classifier

Traffic light labels are classified by EfficientNet-b1 or MobileNet-v2.
We trained classifiers for vehicular signals and pedestrian signals separately. For vehicular signals, a total of 83400 (58600 for training, 14800 for evaluation and 10000 for test) TIER IV internal images of Japanese traffic lights were used for fine-tuning.

Name Input Size Test Accuracy
EfficientNet-b1 128 x 128 99.76%
MobileNet-v2 224 x 224 99.81%

For pedestrian signals, a total of 21199 (17860 for training, 2114 for evaluation and 1225 for test) TIER IV internal images of Japanese traffic lights were used for fine-tuning.
The information of the models is listed here:

Name Input Size Test Accuracy
EfficientNet-b1 128 x 128 97.89%
MobileNet-v2 224 x 224 99.10%

hsv_classifier

Traffic light colors (green, yellow and red) are classified in HSV model.

About Label

The message type is designed to comply with the unified road signs proposed at the Vienna Convention. This idea has been also proposed in Autoware.Auto.

There are rules for naming labels that nodes receive. One traffic light is represented by the following character string separated by commas. color1-shape1, color2-shape2 .

For example, the simple red and red cross traffic light label must be expressed as “red-circle, red-cross”.

These colors and shapes are assigned to the message as follows: TrafficLightDataStructure.jpg

Inputs / Outputs

autoware_traffic_light_classifier

Purpose

autoware_traffic_light_classifier is a package for classifying traffic light labels using cropped image around a traffic light. This package has two classifier models: cnn_classifier and hsv_classifier.

Inner-workings / Algorithms

If height and width of ~/input/rois is 0, color, shape, and confidence of ~/output/traffic_signals become UNKNOWN, CIRCLE, and 0.0. If ~/input/rois is judged as backlight, color, shape, and confidence of ~/output/traffic_signals become UNKNOWN, UNKNOWN, and 0.0.

cnn_classifier

Traffic light labels are classified by EfficientNet-b1 or MobileNet-v2.
We trained classifiers for vehicular signals and pedestrian signals separately. For vehicular signals, a total of 83400 (58600 for training, 14800 for evaluation and 10000 for test) TIER IV internal images of Japanese traffic lights were used for fine-tuning.

Name Input Size Test Accuracy
EfficientNet-b1 128 x 128 99.76%
MobileNet-v2 224 x 224 99.81%

For pedestrian signals, a total of 21199 (17860 for training, 2114 for evaluation and 1225 for test) TIER IV internal images of Japanese traffic lights were used for fine-tuning.
The information of the models is listed here:

Name Input Size Test Accuracy
EfficientNet-b1 128 x 128 97.89%
MobileNet-v2 224 x 224 99.10%

hsv_classifier

Traffic light colors (green, yellow and red) are classified in HSV model.

About Label

The message type is designed to comply with the unified road signs proposed at the Vienna Convention. This idea has been also proposed in Autoware.Auto.

There are rules for naming labels that nodes receive. One traffic light is represented by the following character string separated by commas. color1-shape1, color2-shape2 .

For example, the simple red and red cross traffic light label must be expressed as “red-circle, red-cross”.

These colors and shapes are assigned to the message as follows: TrafficLightDataStructure.jpg

autoware_traffic_light_classifier

Purpose

autoware_traffic_light_classifier is a package for classifying traffic light labels using cropped image around a traffic light. This package has two classifier models: cnn_classifier and hsv_classifier.

Inner-workings / Algorithms

If height and width of ~/input/rois is 0, color, shape, and confidence of ~/output/traffic_signals become UNKNOWN, CIRCLE, and 0.0. If ~/input/rois is judged as backlight, color, shape, and confidence of ~/output/traffic_signals become UNKNOWN, UNKNOWN, and 0.0.

cnn_classifier

Traffic light labels are classified by EfficientNet-b1 or MobileNet-v2.
We trained classifiers for vehicular signals and pedestrian signals separately. For vehicular signals, a total of 83400 (58600 for training, 14800 for evaluation and 10000 for test) TIER IV internal images of Japanese traffic lights were used for fine-tuning.

Name Input Size Test Accuracy
EfficientNet-b1 128 x 128 99.76%
MobileNet-v2 224 x 224 99.81%

For pedestrian signals, a total of 21199 (17860 for training, 2114 for evaluation and 1225 for test) TIER IV internal images of Japanese traffic lights were used for fine-tuning.
The information of the models is listed here:

Name Input Size Test Accuracy
EfficientNet-b1 128 x 128 97.89%
MobileNet-v2 224 x 224 99.10%

hsv_classifier

Traffic light colors (green, yellow and red) are classified in HSV model.

About Label

The message type is designed to comply with the unified road signs proposed at the Vienna Convention. This idea has been also proposed in Autoware.Auto.

There are rules for naming labels that nodes receive. One traffic light is represented by the following character string separated by commas. color1-shape1, color2-shape2 .

For example, the simple red and red cross traffic light label must be expressed as “red-circle, red-cross”.

These colors and shapes are assigned to the message as follows: TrafficLightDataStructure.jpg

Inputs / Outputs

hsv_classifier

Traffic light colors (green, yellow and red) are classified in HSV model.

About Label

The message type is designed to comply with the unified road signs proposed at the Vienna Convention. This idea has been also proposed in Autoware.Auto.

There are rules for naming labels that nodes receive. One traffic light is represented by the following character string separated by commas. color1-shape1, color2-shape2 .

For example, the simple red and red cross traffic light label must be expressed as “red-circle, red-cross”.

These colors and shapes are assigned to the message as follows: TrafficLightDataStructure.jpg

autoware_traffic_light_classifier

Purpose

autoware_traffic_light_classifier is a package for classifying traffic light labels using cropped image around a traffic light. This package has two classifier models: cnn_classifier and hsv_classifier.

Inner-workings / Algorithms

If height and width of ~/input/rois is 0, color, shape, and confidence of ~/output/traffic_signals become UNKNOWN, CIRCLE, and 0.0. If ~/input/rois is judged as backlight, color, shape, and confidence of ~/output/traffic_signals become UNKNOWN, UNKNOWN, and 0.0.

cnn_classifier

Traffic light labels are classified by EfficientNet-b1 or MobileNet-v2.
We trained classifiers for vehicular signals and pedestrian signals separately. For vehicular signals, a total of 83400 (58600 for training, 14800 for evaluation and 10000 for test) TIER IV internal images of Japanese traffic lights were used for fine-tuning.

Name Input Size Test Accuracy
EfficientNet-b1 128 x 128 99.76%
MobileNet-v2 224 x 224 99.81%

For pedestrian signals, a total of 21199 (17860 for training, 2114 for evaluation and 1225 for test) TIER IV internal images of Japanese traffic lights were used for fine-tuning.
The information of the models is listed here:

Name Input Size Test Accuracy
EfficientNet-b1 128 x 128 97.89%
MobileNet-v2 224 x 224 99.10%

hsv_classifier

Traffic light colors (green, yellow and red) are classified in HSV model.

The message type is designed to comply with the unified road signs proposed at the Vienna Convention. This idea has been also proposed in Autoware.Auto.

There are rules for naming labels that nodes receive. One traffic light is represented by the following character string separated by commas. color1-shape1, color2-shape2 .

For example, the simple red and red cross traffic light label must be expressed as “red-circle, red-cross”.

These colors and shapes are assigned to the message as follows: TrafficLightDataStructure.jpg

autoware_traffic_light_classifier

Purpose

autoware_traffic_light_classifier is a package for classifying traffic light labels using cropped image around a traffic light. This package has two classifier models: cnn_classifier and hsv_classifier.

Inner-workings / Algorithms

If height and width of ~/input/rois is 0, color, shape, and confidence of ~/output/traffic_signals become UNKNOWN, CIRCLE, and 0.0. If ~/input/rois is judged as backlight, color, shape, and confidence of ~/output/traffic_signals become UNKNOWN, UNKNOWN, and 0.0.

cnn_classifier

Traffic light labels are classified by EfficientNet-b1 or MobileNet-v2.
We trained classifiers for vehicular signals and pedestrian signals separately. For vehicular signals, a total of 83400 (58600 for training, 14800 for evaluation and 10000 for test) TIER IV internal images of Japanese traffic lights were used for fine-tuning.

Name Input Size Test Accuracy
EfficientNet-b1 128 x 128 99.76%
MobileNet-v2 224 x 224 99.81%

For pedestrian signals, a total of 21199 (17860 for training, 2114 for evaluation and 1225 for test) TIER IV internal images of Japanese traffic lights were used for fine-tuning.
The information of the models is listed here:

Name Input Size Test Accuracy
EfficientNet-b1 128 x 128 97.89%
MobileNet-v2 224 x 224 99.10%

hsv_classifier

Traffic light colors (green, yellow and red) are classified in HSV model.

About Label

The message type is designed to comply with the unified road signs proposed at the Vienna Convention. This idea has been also proposed in Autoware.Auto.

There are rules for naming labels that nodes receive. One traffic light is represented by the following character string separated by commas. color1-shape1, color2-shape2 .

For example, the simple red and red cross traffic light label must be expressed as “red-circle, red-cross”.

These colors and shapes are assigned to the message as follows: TrafficLightDataStructure.jpg
