Abstract
Video surveillance-based automatic detection of motorcycle helmet usage can enhance the effectiveness of educational and enforcement initiatives aimed at boosting road safety. Current detection methods, however, have room for enhancement, such as the inability to pinpoint individual motorcycles or differentiate between drivers and passengers in terms of helmet usage. This paper introduces a framework designed to detect and identify individual motorcycles while recording specific helmet usage for riders. The proposed classification approach for helmet usage demonstrates increased efficiency in comparison to previous research. Our findings highlight the exceptional accuracy of deep learning, with our method achieving a score of 0.7754 on the AI City 2023 Challenge Track 5 public leaderboard.
