• Abstract: In 2020, there was a record heavy snowfall owing to climate change. In reality, 2,000 vehicles were stuck on the highway for three days. Because of the freezing of the road surface, 10 vehicles had a billiard accident. Road managers are required to provide indicators to alert drivers regarding snow cover at hazardous locations. This study proposes a deep learning application with live image post-processing to automatically calculate a snow hazard ratio indicator. First, the road surface hidden under snow is translated using a generative adversarial network, pix2pix. Second, snow-covered and road surface classes are detected by semantic segmentation using DeepLabv3+ with MobileNet as a backbone. Based on these trained networks, we automatically compute the road to snow rate hazard index, indicating the amount of snow covered on the road surface. We demonstrate the applied results to 1,155 live snow images of the cold region in Japan. We mention the usefulness and the practical robustness of our study.

  We propose a physically based method to simulate the effect of snowfall on real clear-weather LiDAR point clouds. Our method samples snow particles in 2D space for each LiDAR line and uses the induced geometry to modify the measurement for each LiDAR beam. We use our simulation to generate partially synthetic snowy LiDAR data and leverage these data for training 3D object detection models that are robust to snowfall.
