Military vehicle detection and classification
Project Area of Specialization Artificial IntelligenceProject SummaryProject Summary
Vehicle recognition is a crucial part of intelligent military vehicle categorization and identification. When contrasted with images of various military vehicles, which are less dissimilar in colour, it becomes more difficult to distinguish military vehicles. In this study, we present a figure identification approach based on the YOLO v4 deep learning methodology for recognizing and localizing military vehicles in tough surroundings quickly and accurately. This project compares the detection effects of YOLO v4 with those of Faster R-CNN and YOLO v3, which were previously widely used in the field of military vehicle recognition, using the same figure dataset. The testing findings show that the detection impact of the Military Vehicle Recognition Model based on the YOLO v4 algorithm has increased to some level in terms of average precision and other fundamental metrics. It shows that the YOLO v4 deep learning system can detect figures in a complex environment and provide technological support for smart figure vehicle management..
Project ObjectivesProject Objectives
- Design and implementation of smart detection of military vehicle.
- Computer aided detection (CAD) systems are intended to improve accuracy by using YOLOV4 technique
- Detection of 5 objects in real time.
Project Implementation Method
First of all, create the data set of images. Upload the obj files to the googldrive and then we have to link our Collab Notebook with the Google drive and Mount that drive.
Then we run the code that will Train the Detector on Multiple iterations. Then after completing the training detector is ready to detect any image or video input in which the military vehicle is present. The camera is used to take image then label it. Compare the input images with data base. At the end display percentage output.
Benefits of the ProjectBenefits of the Project
Detecting military vehicles and distinguishing them out from non-military vehicles is a significant challenge in the defense sector. Detection of military vehicle could help to identify enemy’s move and hence, build early precautionary measures. Recently, many deep learning-based techniques have
been proposed for vehicle detection purpose. However, they are developed using datasets that are not useful if military specific vehicle training and detection is required. Hyper-parameters in those techniques are not tuned to entertain low-altitude aerial imagery. We aim to develop state-of-the-art deep learning framework to detect particularly military vehicle. The major bottleneck in the application of deep learning frameworks to detect military vehicles is the lack of available datasets. In this context, we prepared a dataset of low-altitude aerial images that comprises of real data (taken from military shows videos) and toy data (taken from YouTube videos). Our dataset is categorized into five main types i.e. military_tank, Helicopter, Jeeps, Military Truck and Air crafts .
