摘要

Vehicle detection under hostile driving conditions remains a significant challenge, particularly in adverse scenarios such as low-light, snowy, rain, or night conditions. Therefore, this research proposes a novel detection framework that integrates a Disparity-guided Obstacle Attention Module (DOAM) into the backbone and a Multiscale and Efficient Channel Attention (MECA) module into the detection neck. The DOAM studies depth features to guide the network’s focus on obstacle regions only, while the MECA improves feature discrimination across various scales and channels. Comprehensive experiments conducted on the KITTI, CCD, and HCI datasets demonstrate that our method achieves better performance compared to state-of-the-art approaches, reaching an mAP@50–95 of 61.35% at night and 65.57% during the day, representing a 4–5% mAP improvement over the latest YOLOv12 baseline. Moreover, the proposed approach maintains a fast inference speed of 6.81 ms, highlighting its practicality for real-time deployment. These results underscore the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed architecture, particularly in challenging real-world scenarios.
