description Vehicle detection is one of the most challenging research works on environment perception for intelligent vehicle. The commonly used object detection network is too large and can only be realized in real-time on a high-performance server. Based on YOLOv3-tiny, the feature extraction was realized using light-weighted networks such as DarkNet-19 and ResNet-18 to improve accuracy. The K -means algorithm was used to cluster nine anchor boxes to achieve multi-scale prediction, especially for small targets. For automotive applicable scenarios, the proposed vehicle detection network was executed in an embedded device. The KITTI data sets were trained and tested. Experimental results show that the average accuracy is improved by 14.09% compared with the traditional YOLOv3-tiny, reaching 93.66%, and can reach 13 fps on the embedded device.
