Abstract:

Traffic sign detection is the key step of a traffic sign recognition system. To solve the problems of only detection specific categories of traffic signs and over?fitting due to the lack of training samples in deep learning based methods, we propose a deep learning based traffic sign detection method ? pseudo sample regularization Faster R?CNN. In our method, we first design a pseudo sample regularization scheme using the traffic signs and unlabeled background samples from the training set. Then, the region proposal network (RPN) in the deep learning framework is used to generate region proposals. At last, the RPN network and Fast R?CNN detection network are working alternatively and jointly using the alternative training, shared CNN and co?training strategies to obtain the Faster R?CNN traffic sign detection model. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method through comprehensive experimental analysis. The results show that our method shows boosted traffic sign detection performance and the over?fitting problem can be suppressed。

Key words: information processing technology, traffic sign detection, pseudo sample regularization, faster region?convolutional neural networks (Faster R?CNN), region proposal networks
