用几何方法精准定位道路车辆,显著降低远距离误差。
Accurate Localization of Road Traffic Objects on the Road Plane Using Surveillance Camera Imagery

- 分两阶段预测车底在路面的四角投影,再求中心点
- 真实数据上定位误差降低51.8%,远距离车辆误差减至1.84米
- 特别适合高空摄像头下的大车和远距离场景
单目路边监控摄像头中的车辆精确定位对智能交通系统、交通监控和冲突分析至关重要。传统方法仅以检测框中心作为位置估计,易受透视畸变和视差影响,尤其在高架摄像头和大型车辆情况下误差显著。本文提出一种两阶段几何感知定位流程:首先使用基于YOLO26的检测器识别车辆,其次通过专用ResNet34回归网络预测车辆在路面投影的四个角点,最终取预测四边形的几何中心作为位置。模型在CARLA生成的合成数据上训练,并在DAIR-V2X的真实道路影像上微调。实验表明,在合成与真实数据上均优于简单框中心定位法。在DAIR-V2X数据集上,平均图像空间误差由31.77像素降至15.30像素(下降51.8%),中位误差降至4.29像素;中距离车辆地面平面中位误差从5.52米降至0.90米,远距离车辆从8.67米降至1.84米。结果还显示,检测框周围的上下文信息对几何定位至关重要,远距离及强透视畸变场景下改进最明显。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate vehicle localization from monocular roadside surveillance cameras is important for intelligent transportation systems, traffic monitoring, and traffic conflict analysis. Standard approaches often estimate vehicle position from the center of the detector bounding box, which can produce large errors due to perspective distortion and parallax, especially for elevated cameras and large vehicles. This paper proposes a two-stage geometry-aware localization pipeline that estimates the projection of the vehicle footprint onto the road plane. First, vehicles are detected using a YOLO26-based detector. Second, a dedicated ResNet34 regression network predicts four corner points corresponding to the projected vehicle base. The final position is computed as the geometric center of the predicted quadrilateral. The method was trained on synthetic data generated in CARLA and fine-tuned on real-world roadside imagery from DAIR-V2X. Experiments on synthetic and real data showed clear improvements over naive bounding-box-center localization. On DAIR-V2X, the mean image-space localization error decreased from 31.77 px to 15.30 px, a 51.8% improvement, while the median error decreased to 4.29 px. Median ground-plane error for medium-range vehicles decreased from 5.52 m to 0.90 m, and for far-range vehicles from 8.67 m to 1.84 m. The results also show that contextual information surrounding the detector bounding box is important for geometric localization. The largest gains were observed for distant vehicles and geometrically challenging cases affected by strong perspective distortion and parallax.
