This repository represents Crosswalk Detection Network (CDNet), which is a specific implementation of crosswalk (zebra crossing) detection and vehicle crossing behavior analysis under the vision of vehicle-mounted camera.

• A crosswalk detection and vehicle crossing behavior detection network is realized.
• The accuracy and speed exceed YOLOv5 in the specific task.
• High robustness in real complex scenarios such as in cloudy, sunny, rainy and at night is achieved.
• Real-time detection (33.1 FPS) is implemented on Jetson nano edge-computing device. +The datasets, tutorials and source codes are available on GitHub.

On the basis of YOLOv5, the following technologies are proposed to improve the speed and accuracy :

• SENet (Squeeze-and-Excitation Network)
• NST (Negative Samples Training)
• ROI (Region Of Interest)
• SSVM (Slide receptive field Short-term Vectors Memory)

• Jan 2021: 1.0.1 version of CDNet is released! With a detection speed of 33.1 FPS on Jetson nano, it obtained an average F1 score of 94.72% in the complex scenarios.

Get CDNet code and configure the environment, please check out docs/INSTALL.md

Please check out docs/MODEL_ZOO.md

Download trainsets and testsets, please check out docs/DATASETS.md

Once you get the CDNet code, configure the environment and download the dataset, juse type:

python train.py --trainset_path /path/to/trainset/folder
(such as: /home/xxx/datasets/train_data_yolov5_format) 

The training results and weights will be saved in runs/expxx/ directory.

The main optional arguments:

--device "0, 1"  # cpu or gpu id, "0, 1" means use two gpu to train.
--img-size 640 
--batch-size 32 
--epochs 100 
--not-use-SE  # use original YOLOv5 which not SE-module embedded if there is the flag

Detect the crosswalk image by image and analyze the vehicle crossing behavior.

python detect.py

The main optional arguments:

--source example/images  # images dir
--output example/output  # output dir
--img-size 640  # inference model size
--device "0"   # use cpu or gpu(gpu id)
--plot-classes ["crosswalk"]  # plot classes
--field-size 5  # the Slide receptive field size of SSVM 
--not-use-ROI  # not use roi for accelerate inference speed if there is the flag
--not-use-SSVM  # not use ssvm method for analyse vehicle crossing behavior if there is the flag

For more details, please refer to docs/INSTALL.md and docs/DATASETS.md.

The square dots denote detection size of 640, while triangle dots denote 288. The detection speed measured on the NVIDIA edge computing device Jetson nano.
