Road Surface Translation Under Snow-covered and Semantic Segmentation for Snow Hazard Index
In 2020, there was a record heavy snowfall owing to climate change. In reality, 2,000 vehicles were stuck on the highway for three days. Because of the freezing of the road surface, 10 vehicles had a billiard accident. Road managers are required to provide indicators to alert drivers regarding snow cover at hazardous locations. This study proposes a deep learning application with live image post-processing to automatically calculate a snow hazard ratio indicator. First, the road surface hidden under snow is translated using a generative adversarial network, pix2pix. Second, snow-covered and road surface classes are detected by semantic segmentation using DeepLabv3+ with MobileNet as a backbone. Based on these trained networks, we automatically compute the road to snow rate hazard index, indicating the amount of snow covered on the road surface. We demonstrate the applied results to 1,155 live snow images of the cold region in Japan. We mention the usefulness and the practical robustness of our study.

Snowy Night-to-Day Translator and Semantic Segmentation Label Similarity for Snow Hazard Indicator
In 2021, Japan recorded more than three times as much snowfall as usual, so road user maybe come across dangerous situation. The poor visibility caused by snow triggers traffic accidents. For example, 2021 January 19, du…

In road monitoring, it is an important issue to detect changes in the road surface at an early stage to prevent damage to third parties. The target of the falling object may be a fallen tree due to the external force of …
Road Detection in Snowy Forest Environment using RGB Camera
Automated driving technology has gained a lot of momentum in the last few years. For the exploration field, navigation is the important key for autonomous operation. In difficult scenarios such as snowy environment, the …
SnowyLane: Robust Lane Detection on Snow-covered Rural Roads Using Infrastructural Elements
Lane detection for autonomous driving in snow-covered environments remains a major challenge due to the frequent absence or occlusion of lane markings. In this paper, we present a novel, robust and realtime capable appro…
