Implementation of vehicle detection algorithm for self-driving car on toll road cipularang using Python language

Abstract

Self-Driving Car research problem requires several sub-topics that need to be discussed more deeply. Such as Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Fusion Sensor, Localization, Control, until Path Planning. All of them are fusion of several fields of study. This paper discusses the results of implementation of vehicle detection algorithm on toll road Cipularang as parts of self-driving car system. Video image taken using action camera mounted on top of the vehicle, with 1280×720 resolution. Average speed of the vehicle is 100 km per hour. Programming language of image processing using Python 3. Image processing method are a combination of methods of object detection, feature intuition, colour spaces, and HOG (histogram of oriented gradient). The result shows this algorithm needed to be add some method that can changing the parameters during day and night adaptively. Because constant parameters can only be used in the same lighting conditions. Overall the implementation method in Python Language can be successfully detect the vehicle with an accuracy above 90 percent.
