We firstly propose an adaptive RoI strategy that utilizes road lane information to give focus on frontal area for vehicle detection. Then we introduce a novel attention mechanism that automatically learns an attention map to refine the features for detection. Experimental results show a large improvement (+73 % on recall rate) for long-range (30 to 60m) vehicle detection which is extremely useful for users of driving assistant systems.enHighly reliable vehicle detection through CNN with attention mechanismconference proceedings10.1109/ICCE53296.2022.9730525
