초록

The use of electric scooter (e-scooter) sharing services has increased significantly in recent years due to theirconvenience and economy. In order to rent an e-scooter, a user first finds nearby e-scooters using a smartphoneapplication, which shows the global positioning system (GPS) locations of e-scooters around the user. However,since the error of GPS can be more than 10 m, the user may have difficulty finding the exact location of the escooterthe user wants to use. To alleviate this problem, an e-scooter sharing service “Kickgoing,” operated byOlulo in South Korea, provides users with e-scooter photos taken by users upon return, along with their GPSlocations, on its smartphone application. Those photos help subsequent users to find e-scooters more accurately. However, since some users upload photos that do not include e-scooters or are unrecognizable, it is essential toprovide users with only those photos that clearly include an e-scooter. Therefore, in this paper, we develop ane-scooter photo recognition system that can accurately recognize only those photos that include e-scooters. Thedeveloped system, which is based on YOLO, uses three techniques: if a whole e-scooter is not recognized, itrecognizes an e-scooter by recognizing its parts individually; it recognizes e-scooters with significantlydifferent photography angles as different classes; and it provides users with only those photos in which theproportion of the e-scooter is within a certain range. Experimental results on a real dataset show that thedeveloped system recognizes e-scooter photos more accurately compared to a system that uses the YOLOmodel as is.

Abstract

The use of electric scooter (e-scooter) sharing services has increased significantly in recent years due to theirconvenience and economy. In order to rent an e-scooter, a user first finds nearby e-scooters using a smartphoneapplication, which shows the global positioning system (GPS) locations of e-scooters around the user. However,since the error of GPS can be more than 10 m, the user may have difficulty finding the exact location of the escooterthe user wants to use. To alleviate this problem, an e-scooter sharing service “Kickgoing,” operated byOlulo in South Korea, provides users with e-scooter photos taken by users upon return, along with their GPSlocations, on its smartphone application. Those photos help subsequent users to find e-scooters more accurately. However, since some users upload photos that do not include e-scooters or are unrecognizable, it is essential toprovide users with only those photos that clearly include an e-scooter. Therefore, in this paper, we develop ane-scooter photo recognition system that can accurately recognize only those photos that include e-scooters. Thedeveloped system, which is based on YOLO, uses three techniques: if a whole e-scooter is not recognized, itrecognizes an e-scooter by recognizing its parts individually; it recognizes e-scooters with significantlydifferent photography angles as different classes; and it provides users with only those photos in which theproportion of the e-scooter is within a certain range. Experimental results on a real dataset show that thedeveloped system recognizes e-scooter photos more accurately compared to a system that uses the YOLOmodel as is.
