Project Overview
This project, conducted as my Master's Thesis, introduces DGNDW, an end-to-end deep learning framework designed to synthesize diverse weather conditions. It addresses the scarcity of adverse weather datasets (fog, rain, snow) for training robust autonomous driving systems.
Core Techniques
The framework leverages Weakly Supervised Learning to translate clear images into weather-degraded counterparts. A key contribution is the novel Triplet Content Loss, which preserves the semantic structure of the scene while realistically rendering weather effects.
The generated data significantly improves the domain adaptation capabilities of downstream object detectors, bridging the gap between clear and adverse weather performance.
