Machine Learning (ML) involves making a machine able to learn and take decisions on real-life problems by working with an efficient set of algorithms. The generated ML models find application in different areas of research and management. One such field, automotive technology, employs ML enabled commercialized advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) which include traffic sign recognition as a part. With the increasing demand for the intelligence of vehicles, and the advent of self-driving cars, it is extremely necessary to detect and recognize traffic signs automatically through computer technology. For this, neural networks can be applied for analyzing images of traffic signs for cognitive decision making by autonomous vehicles. Neural networks are the computing systems which act as a means of performing ML. In this work, a convolutional neural network (CNN) based ML model is built for recognition of traffic signs accurately for decision making, when installed in driverless vehicles.

Traffic Sign Detection

In this paper, we propose a new Intelligent Traffic Sign Recognition (ITSR) system with illumination preprocessing capability. Our proposed Dark Area Sensitive Tone Mapping (DASTM) technique can enhance the illumination of only dark regions of an image with little impact on bright regions. We used this technique as a pre-processing module for our new traffic sign recognition system. We combined DASTM with a TS detector, an optimized version of YOLOv3 for the detection of three classes of traffic signs. We trained ITSR on a dataset of Korean traffic signs with prohibitory, mandatory, and danger classes. We achieved Mean Average Precision (MAP) value of 90.07% (previous best result was 86.61%) on challenging Korean Traffic Sign Detection (KTSD) dataset and 100% on German Traffic Sign Detection Benchmark (GTSDB). Result comparisons of ITSR with latest D-Patches, TS detector, and YOLOv3 show that our new ITSR significantly outperforms in recognition performance.

The Impact

Convolutional Neural Network is an important deep learning architecture for computer vision. Alongside with its variations, it brought image analysis applications to a new performance level. However, despite its undoubted quality, the evaluation of the performance presented in the literature is mostly restricted to accuracy measurements. So, considering the stochastic characteristics of neural networks training and the impact of the architectures configuration, research is still needed to affirm if such architectures reached the optimal configuration for their focused problems. Statistical significance is a powerful tool for a more accurate experimental evaluation of stochastic processes. This paper is dedicated to perform a thorough evaluation of kernel order influence over convolutional neural networks in the context of traffic signs recognition. Experiments for distinct kernels sizes were performed using the most well accepted database, the socalled German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark.

The Time Domain

Being one of the key techniques for unmanned autonomous vehicle, traffic sign recognition is applied to assist autopilot. Colors are very important clues to identify traffic signs; however, color-based methods suffer performance degradation in the case of light variation. Convolutional neural network, as one of the deep learning methods, is able to hierarchically learn high-level features from the raw input. It has been proved that convolutional neural network–based approaches outperform the color-based ones. At present, inputs of convolutional neural networks are processed either as gray images or as three independent color channels; the learned color features are still not enough to represent traffic signs. Apart from colors, temporal constraint is also crucial to recognize video-based traffic signs. The characteristics of traffic signs in the time domain require further exploration. Quaternion numbers are able to encode multi-dimensional information, and they have been employed to describe color images. In this article, we are inspired to present a quaternion convolutional neural network–based approach to recognize traffic signs by fusing spatial and temporal features in a single framework. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed method can yield correct recognition results and obtain better performance when compared with the state-of-the-art work.

Traffic sign recognition (TSR) can be used to recognize traffic signs by utilizing image processing. This paper presents traffic sign recognition in Indonesia using convolutional neural networks (CNN). The overall image dataset used is 2050 images of traffic signs, consisting of 10 kinds of signs. The CNN layer used in this study consists of one convolution layer, one pooling layer using maxpool operation, and one fully connected layer. The training algorithm used is stochastic gradient descent (SGD). At the training stage, using 1750 training images, 48 filters, and a learning rate of 0.005, the recognition results in 0.005 of loss and 100 % of accuracy. At the testing stage using 300 test images, the system recognizes the signs with 0.107 of loss and 97.33 % of accuracy.

Cusum Method

For over a decade, urban road environment detection has been a target of intensive research. The topic is relevant for the design and implementation of advanced driver assistance systems. Typically, embedded systems are deployed in these for the operation. The environments can be categorized into road environment-types. Abrupt transitions between these pose a traffic safety risk. Road environment-type transitions along a route manifest themselves also in changes in the distribution of traffic signs and other road objects. Can the placement and the detection of traffic signs be modelled jointly with an easy-to-handle stochastic point process, e.g., an inhomogeneous marked Poisson process? Does this model lend itself for real-time application, e.g., via analysis of a log generated by a traffic sign detection and recognition system? How can the chosen change detector help in mitigating the traffic safety risk? A change detection method frequently used for Poisson processes is the cumulative sum (CUSUM) method. Herein, this method is tailored to the specific stochastic model and tested on realistic logs. The use of several change detectors is also considered. Results indicate that a traffic sign-based road environment-type change detection is feasible, though it is not suitable for an immediate intervention.

Traffic Sign Classification

This paper presents an effective solution to detecting traffic signs on road by first classifying the traffic sign images us-ing Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) on the German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark (GTSRB)[1] and then detecting the images of Indian Traffic Signs using the Indian Dataset which will be used as testing dataset while building classification model. Therefore this system helps electric cars or self driving cars to recognise the traffic signs efficiently and correctly. The system involves two parts, detection of traffic signs from the environment and classification based on CNN thereby recognising the traffic sign. The classification involves building a CNN model of different filters of dimensions 3 × 3, 5 × 5, 9 × 9, 13 × 13, 15 × 15,19 × 19, 23 × 23, 25 × 25 and 31 ×31 from which the most efficient filter is chosen for further classifying the image detected. The detection involves detecting the traffic sign using YOLO v3-v4 and BLOB detection. Transfer Learning is used for using the trained model for detecting Indian traffic sign images.
