Abstract
The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for obstacle detection under complex weather. The method includes: obtaining an image under a complex weather condition; performing enhanced preprocessing on the image by using a multi-scale retinex with color restoration MSRCR algorithm; inputting the preprocessed image into a trained obstacle detection model based on an improved YOLOv3 network; and according to output of the obstacle detection model based on the improved YOLOv3 network, determining an obstacle detection result under the complex weather; replacing a Leaky-ReLU activation function in convolutional layers in the original YOLOv3 network with an ELU activation function; and training the obstacle detection model with the processed data set to obtain a trained obstacle detection model based on the improved YOLOv3 network.
