Abstract :
Detection and recognition of traffic signs requires the use of classification algorithms, and they basically use visual information such as the shape and color of traffic signs. However, these algorithms face problems in real-time tests, and it is very difficult to achieve the detection of multiple targets, and it is necessary to accelerate the performance of the corresponding algorithms. Traffic sign recognition systems based on deep neural networks may have limitations in practical applications due to computational requirements and resource consumption. Most embedded systems interact directly with processes or the environment and make decisions based on their inputs. This makes the system reactive and responds in real-time to processing inputs to ensure proper operation. This paper presents a lightweight neural network for traffic sign recognition that achieves high accuracy and precision with fewer trainable parameters. To evaluate the efficiency and reliability of the proposed model based on convolutional neural network for traffic sign recognition, extensive experiments have been conducted on the GTSRB dataset. Also, the obtained results have been compared with several advanced architectures such as VGG16, MobileNetv2 and ResNet50. The results show that the proposed model has achieved good performance and emphasizes its potential for deploying real-time traffic sign recognition models and driving assistance systems. The computational efficiency and small size of the proposed model make it more practical and suitable for real-time traffic sign recognition.
