Deep neural network for traffic sign recognition systems: An analysis of spatial transformers and stochastic optimisation methods
This paper presents a Deep Learning approach for traffic sign recognition systems. Several classification experiments are conducted over publicly available traffic sign datasets from Germany and Belgium using a Deep Neural Network which comprises Convolutional layers and Spatial Transformer Networks. Such trials are built to measure the impact of diverse factors with the end goal of designing a Convolutional Neural Network that can improve the state-of-the-art of traffic sign classification task. First, different adaptive and non-adaptive stochastic gradient descent optimisation algorithms such as SGD, SGD-Nesterov, RMSprop and Adam are evaluated. Subsequently, multiple combinations of Spatial Transformer Networks placed at distinct positions within the main neural network are analysed. The recognition rate of the proposed Convolutional Neural Network reports an accuracy of 99.71% in the German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark, outperforming previous state-of-the-art methods and also being more efficient in terms of memory requirements.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2017-82113-C2-1-RMinisterio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2013-46801-C4-1-
Over speed detection using Artificial Intelligence
Over speeding is one of the most common traffic violations. Around 41 million people are issued speeding tickets each year in USA i.e one every second. Existing approaches to detect over- speeding are not scalable and require manual efforts. In this project, by the use of computer vision and artificial intelligence, I have tried to detect over speeding and report the violation to the law enforcement officer. It was observed that when predictions are done using YoloV3, we get the best results
Did You Miss the Sign? A False Negative Alarm System for Traffic Sign Detectors
Object detection is an integral part of an autonomous vehicle for its
safety-critical and navigational purposes. Traffic signs as objects play a
vital role in guiding such systems. However, if the vehicle fails to locate any
critical sign, it might make a catastrophic failure. In this paper, we propose
an approach to identify traffic signs that have been mistakenly discarded by
the object detector. The proposed method raises an alarm when it discovers a
failure by the object detector to detect a traffic sign. This approach can be
useful to evaluate the performance of the detector during the deployment phase.
We trained a single shot multi-box object detector to detect traffic signs and
used its internal features to train a separate false negative detector (FND).
During deployment, FND decides whether the traffic sign detector (TSD) has
missed a sign or not. We are using precision and recall to measure the accuracy
of FND in two different datasets. For 80% recall, FND has achieved 89.9%
precision in Belgium Traffic Sign Detection dataset and 90.8% precision in
German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark dataset respectively. To the best of
our knowledge, our method is the first to tackle this critical aspect of false
negative detection in robotic vision. Such a fail-safe mechanism for object
detection can improve the engagement of robotic vision systems in our daily
life.Comment: Submitted to the 2019 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on
