| contents | In this paper, we present FogGuard, a novel fog-aware object detection network designed to address the challenges posed by foggy weather conditions. Autonomous driving systems heavily rely on accurate object detection algorithms, but adverse weather conditions can significantly impact the reliability of deep neural networks (DNNs).
Existing approaches include image enhancement techniques like IA-YOLO and domain adaptation methods. While image enhancement aims to generate clear images from foggy ones, which is more challenging than object detection in foggy images, domain adaptation does not require labeled data in the target domain. Our approach involves fine-tuning on a specific dataset to address these challenges efficiently.
FogGuard compensates for foggy conditions in the scene, ensuring robust performance by incorporating YOLOv3 as the baseline algorithm and introducing a unique Teacher-Student Perceptual loss for accurate object detection in foggy environments. Through comprehensive evaluations on standard datasets like PASCAL VOC and RTTS, our network significantly improves performance, achieving a 69.43\% mAP compared to YOLOv3's 57.78\% on the RTTS dataset. Additionally, we demonstrate that while our training method slightly increases time complexity, it doesn't add overhead during inference compared to the regular YOLO network. |
