This paper presents a comprehensive approach to adapt and optimize YOLO models for urban environment detection specifically in Tlaxcala, aimed at assisting visually impaired people in navigation on urban environments. We propose and implement a methodology that combines transfer learning, continual learning, and model compression techniques. The study focuses on detecting four critical urban elements: cars, bicycles, traffic lights, and crosswalks, using datasets from Berkeley Deep Drive, KITTI, and a custom dataset of Tlaxcala. The validation results showed a mAP50 of 94.5% and mAP50-95 of 87.3%. However, when tested on simulation experiments using Tlaxcala images, performance dropped to 61.4% mAP50 and 29.8% mAP50-95.

摘要

This paper presents a comprehensive approach to adapt and optimize YOLO models for urban environment detection specifically in Tlaxcala, aimed at assisting visually impaired people in navigation on urban environments. We propose and implement a methodology that combines transfer learning, continual learning, and model compression techniques. The study focuses on detecting four critical urban elements: cars, bicycles, traffic lights, and crosswalks, using datasets from Berkeley Deep Drive, KITTI, and a custom dataset of Tlaxcala. The validation results showed a mAP50 of 94.5% and mAP50-95 of 87.3%. However, when tested on simulation experiments using Tlaxcala images, performance dropped to 61.4% mAP50 and 29.8% mAP50-95.
