Spot-the-Camel: Computer Vision for Safer Roads
arXiv ·
Researchers in Saudi Arabia are applying computer vision techniques to reduce Camel-Vehicle Collisions (CVCs). They tested object detection models including CenterNet, EfficientDet, Faster R-CNN, SSD, and YOLOv8 on the task, finding YOLOv8 to be the most accurate and efficient. Future work will focus on developing a system to improve road safety in rural areas.
