Robust Vehicle Detection and Viewpoint Estimation With Soft Discriminative Mixture Model

Vehicle detection and vehicle viewpoint estimation are both crucial for assistive and autonomous driving systems. In this paper, we propose a soft discriminative mixture of viewpoint (SDMoV) models for joint vehicle detection and vehicle viewpoint estimation. The proposed SDMoV model is learned in two steps. First, a discriminative viewpoint-specific component model, which aims to maximize vehicle viewpoint classification accuracy, is learned for each cluster of vehicle images with similar viewpoint. Second, a new soft margin objective function, which aims to maximize vehicle detection accuracy, is designed to retrain these component models into a mixture of viewpoint models. The proposed SDMoV model is capable of detecting vehicles and estimating their viewpoints simultaneously. Experiments on three state-of-the-art datasets show that the proposed SDMoV model achieves superior accuracy for both vehicle detection and vehicle viewpoint estimation tasks.
