Abstract :Terrain detection is a critical component in autonomous navigation systems, enabling vehicles to adapt their operational parameters based on the terrain type for safety and efficiency. This paper presents the design and implementation of a deep learning-based terrain detection system, which utilizes a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model trained on a diverse dataset of terrain images. The proposed system achieves real-time inference and accurately classifies terrains, such as asphalt, gravel, and grass, using video feed from an onboard camera. The dataset used for training comprises high-resolution images, preprocessed to a uniform size of 100x100 pixels, ensuring consistency in input dimensions.
The system is trained on a TensorFlow 2.x framework, leveraging its optimized computational graph and SavedModel format for deployment. Transfer learning techniques were employed to enhance performance on limited datasets, reducing computational overhead while maintaining high accuracy. The inference engine outputs classifications in a user-friendly GUI designed using Tkinter, displaying the detected terrain type and corresponding action suggestions.
The results demonstrate the system's robustness, achieving high classification accuracy even under varying lighting conditions. This work underscores the potential of deep learning in terrain detection and sets the stage for further integration into advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Future extensions include expanding the dataset to cover more complex terrains and integrating the detection system with vehicle control mechanisms for real-time response.
