提出无需训练的异步增强网络,实现实时恶劣天气下自动驾驶感知。
CADENet: Condition-Adaptive Asynchronous Dual-Stream Enhancement Network for Adverse Weather Perception in Autonomous Driving

- 三线程异步设计:检测、增强、分类互不阻塞,保持44帧/秒实时性。
- 在雪天召回率达0.0103,雨天F1达0.0038,突破标注完整性限制。
- 零样本适配新天气类型,仅需文本提示,无需重训练或新数据。
恶劣天气(雨、雾、沙、雪)会严重降低自动驾驶中基于摄像头的目标检测性能。现有‘增强后检测’方法因处理延迟而违反硬实时要求。该问题还受限于未被充分认识的评估天花板:在退化图像上标注的真值无法反映检测器恢复出原图中未标注物体的能力,导致真正有效的增强仅显示为接近平缓的F1提升。本文提出CADENet(条件自适应异步双流增强网络),一种无需训练的三线程系统:线程S(YOLOv11n)以全帧率运行,零延迟;线程Q应用条件自适应增强(CAPE),并通过熵引导非极大值抑制(EG-NMS)融合结果,不阻塞线程S;线程E提供CLIP零样本天气分类,新增天气类别只需新文本提示,无需标注数据或重训练。在1327张DAWN图像上评估(YOLOv11m,IoU=0.5,置信度=0.25),CADENet在雪天召回率(Recall)为0.0103(微平均),F1为0.0230;雨天F1为0.0038。我们形式化了DAWN类数据上的标注完整性偏差,报告的F1值为真实增益下限;召回率是免于标注间隙影响的核心指标。线程S在增强负载下仍维持约44 FPS。无需模型重训练或额外传感器硬件。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Adverse weather (rain, fog, sand, and snow) degrades camera-based object detection in autonomous vehicles. Existing enhancement-then-detect approaches stall the safety-critical perception loop, violating hard real-time requirements. Progress on this problem is also constrained by an under-recognized evaluation ceiling: ground truth annotated on degraded images cannot credit a detector that recovers objects the annotators themselves could not see, so a genuinely useful enhancement can register as a near-flat F1 gain. This paper presents CADENet (Condition-Adaptive Asynchronous Dual-stream Enhancement Network), a training-free three-thread system: Thread S (YOLOv11n) delivers detections at full frame rate with zero added latency; Thread Q applies condition-adaptive enhancement (CAPE) and fuses results via entropy-guided NMS (EG-NMS) without blocking Thread S; Thread E provides CLIP zero-shot weather classification, so new weather categories require only a new text prompt, with no labeled data and no retraining. Evaluated on 1327 DAWN images (YOLOv11m, IoU = 0.5, confidence = 0.25), CADENet achieves Recall = 0.0103 (micro), F1 = 0.0230 on snow, and F1 = 0.0038 on rain. We formalize the annotation completeness bias on DAWN-class data, so the reported F1 values are lower bounds on the true gain; recall is the annotation-gap-immune headline metric. Thread S sustains approximately 44 FPS regardless of enhancement load. No model retraining or additional sensor hardware is required.
