Driver Intention Anticipation Based on In-Cabin and Driving SceneMonitoring

원문 초록

Numerous car accidents are caused by improper driving maneuvers. Serious injuries are however avoidable if such driving maneuvers are detected beforehand and the driver is assisted accordingly. In fact, various recent research has focused on the automated prediction of driving maneuver based on hand-crafted features extracted mainly from in-cabin driver videos. Since the outside view from the traffic scene may also contain informative features for driving maneuver prediction, we present a framework for the detection of the drivers' intention based on both in-cabin and traffic scene videos. More specifically, we (1) propose a Convolutional-LSTM (ConvLSTM)-based auto-encoder to extract motion features from the out-cabin traffic, (2) train a classifier which considers motions from both in- and outside of the cabin jointly for maneuver intention anticipation, (3) experimentally prove that the in- and outside image features have complementary information. Our evaluation based on the publicly available dataset Brain4cars shows that our framework achieves a prediction with the accuracy of 83.98% and F1-score of 84.3%.
