| contents | Adverse weather conditions challenge safe transportation, necessitating robust real-time weather detection from traffic camera imagery. We propose a novel framework combining CycleGAN-based domain adaptation with efficient contrastive learning to enhance weather classification, particularly in low-light nighttime conditions. Our approach leverages the lightweight SigLIP-2 model, which employs pairwise sigmoid loss to reduce computational demands, integrated with CycleGAN to transform nighttime images into day-like representations while preserving weather cues. Evaluated on an Iowa Department of Transportation dataset, the baseline EVA-02 model with CLIP achieves a per-class overall accuracy of 96.55\% across three weather conditions (No Precipitation, Rain, Snow) and a day/night overall accuracy of 96.55\%, but shows a significant day-night gap (97.21\% day vs.\ 63.40\% night). With CycleGAN, EVA-02 improves to 97.01\% per-class accuracy and 96.85\% day/night accuracy, boosting nighttime performance to 82.45\%. Our Vision-SigLIP-2 + Text-SigLIP-2 + CycleGAN + Contrastive configuration excels in nighttime scenarios, achieving the highest nighttime accuracy of 85.90\%, with 94.00\% per-class accuracy and 93.35\% day/night accuracy. This model reduces training time by 89\% (from 6 hours to 40 minutes) and inference time by 80\% (from 15 seconds to 3 seconds) compared to EVA-02. By narrowing the day-night performance gap from 33.81 to 8.90 percentage points, our framework provides a scalable, efficient solution for all-weather classification using existing camera infrastructure. |
