Deep learning models have significantly improved object detection essential for traffic monitoring. However, these models’ increasing complexity results in higher latency and resource consumption, making real-time object detection challenging. To address this issue, we propose a lightweight deep learning model called Empty Road Detection (ERD). ERD efficiently identifies and removes empty traffic images that do not contain any object of interest, such as vehicles, via binary classification. By serving as a preprocessing unit, ERD filters out nonessential data, reducing computational complexity and latency. ERD is highly compatible and can work seamlessly with any third-party object detection model. In our evaluation, we found that ERD improves the frame processing rate of EfficientDet, SSD, and YOLOV5 by approximately 44%, 40%, and 10%, respectively, for a real-world traffic monitoring video.
