The invention provides a
traffic sign detection method and device and
computer equipment, and the method comprises the steps: inputting a historical
traffic sign image into a YOLO initial model, and determining semantic sensitivity, category weight and scale sensitivity according to a detection tag and a semantic tag corresponding to the historical
traffic sign image; generating an importance
score of each channel in the feature network according to the semantic sensitivity, the category weight and the scale sensitivity; on the basis of the importance
score, dividing each channel into a semantic core channel, a
minority class channel and a redundant channel, and respectively configuring retention weights for the semantic core channel, the
minority class channel and the redundant channel; dynamically
cutting the redundant channel according to the reserved weight to obtain a YOLO detection model; and when it is monitored that the current image is input to the YOLO detection model, a
traffic sign detection frame and a semantic decision result are output. According to the method, the reserved weights of the semantic core and the minority channels can be configured in a differentiated manner, and the redundant channels can be
cut, so that the semantic decision consistency and the detection precision are comprehensively improved.
