Abstract: In this paper, AlexNet neural network algorithm is used to construct a framework of highway visibility recognition. Through the collection of road camera images, the images are labeled, the AlexNet algorithm is trained, image visibility characteristics are extracted, the visibility recognition model is constructed, and the road camera image is accessed in real time to realize the estimation of visibility values. The visibility recognition results are analyzed on 150000 samples labeled with visibility value extracted from 42 surveillance cameras in Anhui province. The results show that the average recognition rate of 42 points is 78.02%. Among them, 14 sites have more than 90% recognition rate and 21 sites have more than 80% recognition rate. The road visibility estimation method based on AlexNet algorithm satisfies the requirements of road visibility real-time and recognition accuracy, and can be used as an auxiliary visibility monitoring method in areas where the visibility meter is not installed. Meanwhile, it has good robustness to illumination changes, distance, and so on.
