SPFCN: Select and Prune the Fully Convolutional Networks for Real-time Parking Slot Detection

25 Mar 2020  ·  Zhuoping Yu, Zhong Gao, Hansheng Chen, Yuyao Huang ·

For vehicles equipped with the automatic parking system, the accuracy and speed of the parking slot detection are crucial. But the high accuracy is obtained at the price of low speed or expensive computation equipment, which are sensitive for many car manufacturers. In this paper, we proposed a detector using CNN(convolutional neural networks) for faster speed and smaller model size while keeps accuracy. To achieve the optimal balance, we developed a strategy to select the best receptive fields and prune the redundant channels automatically after each training epoch. The proposed model is capable of jointly detecting corners and line features of parking slots while running efficiently in real time on average processors. The model has a frame rate of about 30 FPS on a 2.3 GHz CPU core, yielding parking slot corner localization error of 1.51$\pm$2.14 cm (std. err.) and slot detection accuracy of 98\%, generally satisfying the requirements in both speed and accuracy on on-board mobile terminals.
