Abstract

In order to improve the accuracy of pavement recognition, an improved RA-VGG16 network model classification method based on VGG16 is proposed in this paper. The improvements include reducing the number of convolution cores in VGG16 to optimize the network structure, adding the improved residual attention module to achieve the extraction of road notable features, using the global average pooling layer instead of the full connection layer to significantly reduce the network parameters and prevent network over fitting. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the improved VGG16 network model is 99.36%, 15.26% higher than that of the original VGG16, and significantly higher than other models (KNN, Alex Net, VGG13, ResNet50, ResNet101).
