摘要: 自动驾驶场景中交通标志的检测和识别十分重要,为提高自然场景下交通标志检测精度,本文中提出了一种基于Cascade-RCNN改进的交通标志识别算法。首先,针对交通标志这类小目标特殊任务,将 FPN 模块的深层特征信息融合进浅层特征层。其次,改进了目标检测任务中的评价指标IoU,引入目标检测任务的直接评价指标 GIoU 指导定位任务,提高了检测精度。最后,算法在德国交通标志数据集GTSDB下进行了实验验证,以ResNet101为基础特征提取网络,mAP 可达 98.8%,实验结果表明了所提算法的有效性,具有优越的工程实用价值。

Abstract: The detection and recognition of traffic signs in automatic driving scene is very important. In order to improve the accuracy of traffic sign detection in the natural scene, this paper proposes an improved traffic sign recognition algorithm based on Cascade-RCNN. Firstly, the deep feature information of FPN module is fused into the shallow feature layer for the special task of small targets such as traffic signs. Secondly, the evaluation index IoU of the target detection task is improved by introducing in the direct evaluation index GIoU of the target detection task to guide the positioning task, which improves the detection accuracy. Finally, the algorithm is verified by experiments in GTSDB, a German traffic sign data set. When the network extraction is based on ResNet101 features, the mAP can reach 98.8%. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is effective and has superior engineering practical value
