A committee of neural networks for traffic sign classification
Dan Cireşan, Ueli Meier, Jonathan Masci, Jürgen Schmidhuber · 2011
We describe the approach that won the preliminary phase of the German traffic sign recognition benchmark with a better-than-human recognition rate of 98.98%.We obtain an even better recognition rate of 99.15% by further training the nets. Our fast, fully parameterizable GPU implementation of a Convolutional Neural Network does not require careful design of pre-wired feature extractors, which are rather learned in a supervised way. A CNN/MLP committee further boosts recognition performance.
