Abstract

Traffic sign recognition is among the major tasks on driver assistance system. The convolutional neural networks (CNN) play an important role to find a good accuracy of traffic sign recognition in order to limit the dangerous acts of the driver and to respect the road laws. The accuracy of the Detection and Classification determines how powerful of the technique used is. Whereas SSD Multibox (Single Shot MultiBox Detector) is an approach based on convolutional neural networks paradigm, it is adopted in this paper, firstly because we can rely on it for the real-time applications, this approach runs on 59 FPS (frame per second). Secondly, in order to optimize difficulties in multiple layers of DeeperCNN to provide a finer accuracy. Moreover, our experiment on German traffic sign recognition benchmark (GTSRB) demonstrated that the proposed approach could achieve competitive results (83.2% in 140.000 learning steps) using GPU parallel system and Tensorflow.
