Proposes a position-style vision approach using an event camera (DVS) and a deep neural network to predict steering angles for proactive road accident prevention in Nigeria, without experiments.
Problem
Road traffic accidents in Nigeria caused by human error; the paper argues computer vision could provide proactive driver-assistance and hazard detection in local conditions.
Approach
Proposes mapping event-camera (DVS) event frames, encoded as sparse spatio-temporal tensors, to vehicle steering angles with a supervised deep network trained on DDD17, framed as a locally relevant road-safety application. No implementation or quantitative results are reported.
Key results
- No quantitative experimental results are reported; the paper proposes localization metrics (ATE, RPE) for future evaluation in Lagos.
Limitations
- No implementation or experiments are reported; the approach is a proposal.
- Evaluation metrics (ATE, RPE) are localization metrics that do not directly measure steering prediction or accident reduction.
- Plans to test in Lagos are described but not carried out.
Experimental setup
Datasets: DDD17
Metrics: Absolute Trajectory Error (ATE) Relative Pose Error (RPE)
Builds on: DDD17
