In this work, we explore the ability to estimate vehicle fuel
consumption using imagery from overhead fisheye lens cameras
deployed as traffic sensors. We utilize this information to simulate
vision-based control of a traffic intersection, with a goal of
improving fuel economy with minimal impact to mobility. We
introduce the ORNL Overhead Vehicle Data set (OOVD), consisting
of a data set of paired, labeled vehicle images from a ground-based
camera and an overhead fisheye lens traffic camera. The data set
includes segmentation masks based on Gaussian mixture models for
vehicle detection. We show the data set utility through three
applications: estimation of fuel consumption based on segmentation
bounding boxes, vehicle discrimination for vehicles with large
bounding boxes, and fine-grained classification on a limited number
of vehicle makes and models using a pre-trained set of convolutional
neural network models. We compare these results with estimates
based on a large open-source data set of web-scraped imagery.
Finally, we show the utility of the approach using reinforcement
learning in a traffic simulator using the open source Simulation of
Urban Mobility (SUMO) package. Our results demonstrate the
feasibility of the approach for controlling traffic lights for better fuel
efficiency based solely on visual vehicle estimates from commercial,
fisheye lens cameras. |
