Hierarchical traffic sign identification method based on quick dichotomous convolutional neural network

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical fields of computer application and computer vision and provides a hierarchical traffic sign identification method based on a quick dichotomous convolutional neural network. According to the method, a quick dichotomous convolutional neural network structure is designed to relieve the problems of a large calculated quantity and time consumption in the convolution process, and a hierarchical classification algorithm based on the quick convolutional neural network is proposed. According to specific application, at a rough classification stage, a traffic signimage is preprocessed to obtain a region of interest first, and then the region of interest is input into the quick dichotomous convolutional neural network and roughly divided into a plurality of large categories; and at a fine classification stage, traffic signs are preprocessed again according to characteristics of all the categories, the quick dichotomous convolutional network is further utilized to perform fine classification on the processed signs, and a final result is obtained. The result shows that the proposed algorithm has a high classification correct rate, meanwhile has a high processing speed and is more suitable for a traffic sign identification system with a high instantaneity requirement.
