Applicability of Computer Vision Architectures and Their Influence on Traffic Safety of Autonomous Vehicles

This article considers modern rapid architectures of detecting neural networks, structural peculiarities of each selected neural network architectures are analyzed. Experiment is carried out on the basis of potentially dangerous situation upon autonomous vehicle movement; in the selected experimental environment a set of architectures for computer vision system of autonomous vehicle is analyzed, and traffic safety of autonomous vehicle is estimated under various weather conditions; computing time required for application of additional control and analysis algorithms is evaluated. Experimental results are analyzed aiming at development of reasonable selection of neural network architectures for object recognition required for variability of support of autonomous vehicle traffic. Conclusion about applicability of the considered neural network architectures is made for conditions of certain project.
