A Binocular Vision Application in IoT Realtime Trustworthy Road Condition Detection System in Passab

The structural information detection of road conditions, which is adopted for improving driving comfort, patrol inspection, road maintenance, and accident rescue. In order to improve the trustworthiness of road condition detection, a real-time artificial intelligence road detection system based on binocular vision sensors is investigated in this article. The system is deployed on the low-power edge computing platform, which can upload the processing results to the cloud through the Internet-of-Things devices. The authors use binocular disparity information and image-based lightweight deep segmentation network to enhance the detection robustness and accuracy in the industrial Internet-of-Things application scenarios. Considering the small training dataset, a special data labeling regularization and training strategy have also been proposed for training this network. In addition, we employ multiframes feature matching and measurement data filtering to enhance the measurement accuracy. The experimental results demonstrate that our monocular–binocular fusion framework is robust and efficient.
