Patent ID: 10410352

Abstract:
A learning method for improving a segmentation performance to be used for detecting events including a pedestrian event, a vehicle event, a falling event, and a fallen event using a learning device is provided. The method includes steps of: the learning device (a) instructing k convolutional layers to generate k encoded feature maps; (b) instructing k−1 deconvolutional layers to sequentially generate k−1 decoded feature maps, wherein the learning device instructs h mask layers to refer to h original decoded feature maps outputted from h deconvolutional layers corresponding thereto and h edge feature maps generated by extracting edge parts from the h original decoded feature maps; and (c) instructing h edge loss layers to generate h edge losses by referring to the edge parts and their corresponding GTs. Further, the method allows a degree of detecting traffic sign, landmark, road marker, and the like to be increased.
