Challenge Description:

Object detection in the computer vision area has been extensively studied and making tremendous progress in recent years using deep learning methods. However, due to the heavy computation required in most deep learning-based algorithms, it is hard to run these models on embedded systems, which have limited computing capabilities. In addition, the existing open datasets for object detection applied in ADAS applications usually include pedestrian, vehicles, cyclists, and motorcycle riders in western countries, which is not quite similar to the crowded Asian countries like Taiwan with lots of motorcycle riders speeding on city roads, such that the object detection models training by using the existing open datasets cannot be applied in detecting moving objects in Asian countries like Taiwan.

In this competition, we encourage the participants to design object detection models that can be applied in Taiwan’s traffic with lots of fast speeding motorcycles running on city roads along with vehicles and pedestrians. The developed models not only fit for embedded systems but also achieve high accuracy at the same time.
