Vehicle recognition on indian roads using data augmentation and VGG-16 model

Abstract

In an advanced intelligent transportation system vehicle recognition and classi f ication is very significant. In current research trend, recognition of vehicles is done byusingmachinelearning (ML)andcomputervisiontechniques. Vehicle’s multi-view images or videos with different lighting conditions are annotated and given to the deep neural network to build an automated system to recognize the vehicles models. The augmentation of data can increase the number of sam ples in learning, with the small available datasets. Geometric transformations, brightness changes, and different filter operations are applied to the data through data augmentation. Furthermore, be orthogonal experiments we determine the optimal data augmentation method to obtain 96% accuracy in results. Detailed information is reported based on the classification of four different types of vehi cles and the results show that convolutional neural network with 16 layers deep techniques are effective in solving challenging tasks while recognizing moving vehicles.
