Vehicle Type Classification Using a Semisupervised Convolutional Neural Network
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a vehicle type classification method using a semisupervised convolutional neural network from vehicle frontal-view images. In order to capture rich and discriminative information of vehicles, we introduce sparse Laplacian filter learning to obtain the filters of the network with large amounts of unlabeled data. Serving as the output layer of the network, the softmax classifier is trained by multitask learning with small amounts of labeled data. For a given vehicle image, the network can provide the probability of each type to which the vehicle belongs. Unlike traditional methods by using handcrafted visual features, our method is able to automatically learn good features for the classification task. The learned features are discriminative enough to work well in complex scenes. We build the challenging BIT-Vehicle dataset, including 9850 high-resolution vehicle frontal-view images. Experimental results on our own dataset and a public dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
