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

Robust Traffic Sign Detection by means of Vision and V2I Communications
14th International IEEE Annual Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems - ITSC, , 05/10/2011-07/10/2011, Washington DC, Estados UnidosThis paper presents a complete traffic sign recognition system, including the steps of detection, recognition and tracking. The Hough transform is used as detection method from the information extracted in contour images, while the proposed recognition system is based on Support Vector Machines (SVM), and is able to recognize up to one hundred of the main road signs. Besides a novel solution to the problem of discarding detected signs that do not pertain to the host road is proposed, for that purpose vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication and stereo information is used. This paper presents plenty of tests in real driving conditions, both day and night, in which a high success rate and low number of false negatives and true positives were obtained, and an average runtime of 35 ms, allowing real-time performance
A Deeply Supervised Semantic Segmentation Method Based on GAN
In recent years, the field of intelligent transportation has witnessed rapid
advancements, driven by the increasing demand for automation and efficiency in
transportation systems. Traffic safety, one of the tasks integral to
intelligent transport systems, requires accurately identifying and locating
various road elements, such as road cracks, lanes, and traffic signs. Semantic
segmentation plays a pivotal role in achieving this task, as it enables the
partition of images into meaningful regions with accurate boundaries. In this
study, we propose an improved semantic segmentation model that combines the
strengths of adversarial learning with state-of-the-art semantic segmentation
techniques. The proposed model integrates a generative adversarial network
(GAN) framework into the traditional semantic segmentation model, enhancing the
model's performance in capturing complex and subtle features in transportation
images. The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated by a significant
boost in performance on the road crack dataset compared to the existing
methods, \textit{i.e.,} SEGAN. This improvement can be attributed to the
synergistic effect of adversarial learning and semantic segmentation, which
leads to a more refined and accurate representation of road structures and
conditions. The enhanced model not only contributes to better detection of road
cracks but also to a wide range of applications in intelligent transportation,
such as traffic sign recognition, vehicle detection, and lane segmentation.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, ITSC conferenc
Total Recall: Understanding Traffic Signs using Deep Hierarchical Convolutional Neural Networks
Recognizing Traffic Signs using intelligent systems can drastically reduce
the number of accidents happening world-wide. With the arrival of Self-driving
cars it has become a staple challenge to solve the automatic recognition of
Traffic and Hand-held signs in the major streets. Various machine learning
techniques like Random Forest, SVM as well as deep learning models has been
proposed for classifying traffic signs. Though they reach state-of-the-art
performance on a particular data-set, but fall short of tackling multiple
Traffic Sign Recognition benchmarks. In this paper, we propose a novel and
one-for-all architecture that aces multiple benchmarks with better overall
score than the state-of-the-art architectures. Our model is made of residual
convolutional blocks with hierarchical dilated skip connections joined in
steps. With this we score 99.33% Accuracy in German sign recognition benchmark
and 99.17% Accuracy in Belgian traffic sign classification benchmark. Moreover,
we propose a newly devised dilated residual learning representation technique
which is very low in both memory and computational complexity
