Abstract:

In view of the number of shortcomings of target detection algorithm in traffic sign detection, this study proposes a traffic sign detection algorithm that incorporating receptive field enhancement module and attention mechanism. The algorithm is improved on basis of YOLOv5(You Only Look Once version 5) algorithm, the RFB (Receptive Field Block) is used to replace the SPP(Spatial Pyramid Pooling) in the original backbone, the attention mechanism modules ECAM(Efficient Channel Attention Module) and CBA (Convolutional Block Attention Module) are embedded in the feature fusion network, and the Matrix NMS (Matrix Non-Maximum Suppression) is used to sift the candidate bounding-boxes. The experimental results show that there is no change in the number of model parameters when compared with the original network, meanwhile, mean average precision of the algorithm reaches 82.31%, which is 8.59% higher than the original network, and the detection speed reaches 51.89 frame·s-1. In addition, there is no false detection or missing detection in each test scenario, which proves that the generalization ability of the algorithm is also better than original algorithm, and the algorithm can perform real-time detection of traffic signs.
