Vehicle Manufacturer Recognition (VMR) using SSD model
Abstract
The Intelligent Transportation System is an important application to reduce accidents on the road using technology such as license plate recognition (LPR). However, LPR systems still suffer from problems with the position of license plates which can result in improper fines. To identify vehicles, more information should be taken into account, such as vehicle manufacturer recognition (VMR). We propose a transfer method model using a single shot detector (SSD) to detect and recognize a vehicle manufacturer. The model is trained in using a public dataset and applying it in a real environment dataset provided by Bangkok Expressway and Metro Public Company Limited (BEM). We use a public dataset including vehicle make and model recognition dataset (VMMRDB) for training a model with one-thousand images. The model achieved 88.34% and 93.36% successful recognition in the public dataset and BEM dataset, respectively.
