Real-Time-Traffic-Sign-Detection

Traffic sign detection by Tensorflow object detection

Requirements

This project is implemented in Tensorflow 2 and it is based on Tensorflow Object Detection API.

For install Tensorflow 2, just use this command:

pip install tensorflow==2.0.0 

Pretrained models

You can find models from following links and put them inside "models" directory:

• faster_rcnn_inception_resnet_v2_atrous
• faster_rcnn_inception_v2
• faster_rcnn_resnet_101
• faster_rcnn_resnet50
• rfcn_resnet101
• ssd_inception_v2
• ssd_mobilenet_v1

for example:

├── models
│   ├── faster_rcnn_inception_resnet_v2_atrous
│   ├── ssd_mobilenet_v1

Note modify default model name in line 34 of code as name of model in models directory.

Results

Acccording to Evaluation of deep neural networks for traffic sign detection systems paper: Faster R-CNN Inception Resnet V2 model obtains the best mAP, while R-FCN Resnet 101 strikes the best trade-off between accuracy and execution time. SSD Mobilenet is the fastest and the lightest model in terms of memory consumption, making it an optimal choice for deployment in mobile and embedded devices.
