Background:
- Traditional computer vision methods face limitations in accurately segmenting complex road scenes, crucial for autonomous vehicle navigation.
- The Indian Driving Dataset (IDD) presents unique challenges due to chaotic road conditions, highlighting the need for advanced segmentation techniques.
Purpose of the Study:
- To enhance semantic segmentation accuracy and efficiency for autonomous vehicles in challenging, unstructured driving environments.
- To propose a novel deep learning model, a modified CANet, that addresses the limitations of existing methods.
Main Methods:
- Development of a modified CANet architecture integrating U-Net and LinkNet components.
- Implementation of a Multiscale Context Module (MCM) with three parallel branches to capture diverse contextual information.
- Evaluation using the Indian Driving Dataset (IDD) to assess performance in complex scenarios.
Main Results:
- The proposed modified CANet achieved a mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) of 0.7053.
- The model demonstrated superior efficiency and performance compared to state-of-the-art semantic segmentation models.
- The architecture effectively captures contextual information at multiple scales for improved segmentation.
Conclusions:
- Deep learning-based semantic segmentation offers a promising solution for safe autonomous navigation in complex traffic.
