Enhanced Image Clarity in Adverse Conditions
The Median Filter (MF) model effectively cleans input images by reducing noise caused by challenging weather like dust, sandstorms, fog, or heavy rain. Unlike conventional filters, MF preserves crucial edge details, ensuring that the visual data remains pristine for subsequent feature extraction, which is vital for reliable autonomous vehicle operation.
Capturing Complex Visual Patterns
CapsNet is employed for superior feature extraction, capable of recognizing spatial hierarchies and intricate patterns from complex visual data. It preserves pose information and spatial alignments, outperforming traditional CNNs in adverse weather where features may appear in various orientations, thereby enhancing the model's ability to distinguish subtle visual cues.
Real-time Temporal Weather Recognition
The Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) model excels at detecting adverse weather conditions by capturing long-range dependencies in sequential data. Its use of causal and dilated convolutions allows for rapid training and parallelization, making it highly suitable for real-time weather detection and robust in dynamic, ever-changing weather scenarios.
Optimizing Performance for Accuracy
To further enhance performance, Improved Dung Beetle Optimization (IDBO) is utilized for hyperparameter tuning of the TCN model. This meta-heuristic approach balances exploration and exploitation to effectively navigate complex search spaces, avoiding local minima and ensuring significantly higher classification accuracy under diverse weather conditions.
Transparent and Trustworthy AI Decisions
The integration of LIME-based Explainable AI (XAI) provides critical transparency and interpretability for the weather condition predictions. This allows stakeholders to understand the underlying rationale behind AI decisions, fostering trust, improving accountability, and facilitating rapid diagnosis in critical autonomous driving scenarios.
Our CDAAWD-AVXAI model demonstrated a superior accuracy of 98.83% on the DAWN dataset, significantly outperforming existing methods and ensuring reliable perception for autonomous vehicles.
