Embodiment 1

[0103] combine figure 1 , the invention discloses a method for improving the recognition accuracy of traffic signs under extreme weather and environment, the specific method steps are as follows:

[0104] S101: Prepare training image dataset

[0105] Use pictures containing traffic signs taken under extreme weather and bad light as a training image dataset;

[0106] This embodiment adopts the following method to obtain the above-mentioned pictures:

[0107] 1- Download an existing public dataset:

[0108] Tsinghua Tencent Traffic Sign Dataset ( https: / / cg.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn / traffic-sign / ), the data set contains 220 types of traffic signs, about 100,000 pictures of traffic signs under extreme weather and bad light, collected from street views of traffic signs in major, medium and small cities in China. However, not all pictures contain at least one of the 220 types of traffic signs, for example, a large part of pictures (about 90,000 pieces) do not contain any traffic sig...

Embodiment 2

[0222] In order to use the trained model to perform target detection on new pictures and detect the location and type of traffic signs, the steps are as follows:

[0223] S201: Load the traffic sign image to be detected

[0224] Images can be loaded from existing storage, captured by a camera, or taken frame by frame from video.

[0225] S202: Image preprocessing

[0226] Unify the size of the input images to a size of 512×512.

[0227] S203: Load the improved YoloV5 target detection network model trained in Example 1

[0228] By loading the trained improved YoloV5 target detection network model, load the network parameters of the model into the target detection system.

[0229] S204: Detect traffic sign images

[0230] The image data is sent to the network model for prediction, and the classification and location information of the target is obtained.

[0231] S205: Obtain the traffic sign target detection result

[0232] like Figure 17 ~ Figure 22As shown, in practic...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving the traffic sign recognition precision in extreme weather and environment, which is based on a YoV5 target detection model, integrates a focusing module, a cross-stage local fusion module and a spatial pyramid pooling structure, and can better extract feature map information from local features for traffic sign images with poor light, and the feature map more accurately expresses the image. For a small number of training data, the expressions of the traffic signs in different environments are simulated by using Gaussian noise, adding salt and pepper noise, reducing brightness, sharpening an image, reducing the size and the like in proportion, and the traffic signs are copied to a target-free picture by using a copying-pasting method, so that a data set is greatly enriched. By using the method provided by the invention, different image modes under different resolutions can be captured more easily, and the features of the target can be extracted and fused to the greatest extent; and meanwhile, convergence is quicker and more accurate, fewer positioning errors exist, and more accurate prediction is generated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical fields of traffic and computer vision, in particular to a method for improving the recognition accuracy of traffic signs under extreme weather and environments. Background technique [0002] The traffic signs deployed along the road carry the specific management content and behavior rules of the road traffic. At present, autonomous vehicles mainly obtain such information through their own sensing equipment. Due to technical limitations, in some complex road conditions and environments, the image detection and recognition of traffic signs is affected by extreme weather such as snow, fog, dark clouds, dust, rain, etc., resulting in low visibility, as well as strong sunlight and street lighting at night, Under the influence of extreme conditions such as poor light at night, self-driving vehicles are easy to miss or difficult to recognize the traffic information carried by traffic signs and markings, and there are cer...
