Abstract

The driving operations of the subway system are of great significance in ensuring the safety of trains. There are several hand actions defined in the driving instructions that the driver must strictly execute while operating the train. The actions directly indicate whether equipment is normally operating. Therefore, it is important to automatically sense the region of the driver and detect the actions of the driver from surveillance cameras to determine whether they are carrying out the corresponding actions correctly or not. In this paper, a lightweight two-stage model for subway driver action sensoring and detection is proposed, consisting of a driver detection network to sense the region of the driver and an action recognition network to recognize the category of an action. The driver detection network adopts the pretrained MobileNetV2-SSDLite. The action recognition network employs an improved ShuffleNetV2, which incorporates a spatial enhanced module (SEM), improved shuffle units (ISUs), and shuffle attention modules (SAMs). SEM is used to enhance the feature maps after convolutional downsampling. ISU introduces a new branch to expand the receptive field of the network. SAM enables the model to focus on important channels and key spatial locations. Experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms 3D MobileNetV1, 3D MobileNetV3, SlowFast, SlowOnly, and SE-STAD models. Furthermore, a subway driver action sensoring and detection system based on a surveillance camera is built, which is composed of a video-reading module, main operation module, and result-displaying module. The system can perform action sensoring and detection from surveillance cameras directly. According to the runtime analysis, the system meets the requirements for real-time detection.
