Driving Assistance Systems to Detect Road Signs Utilizing Faster-RCNN and Yolov3 Networks

Background

In Spring semester 2022 during my Master’s in Computer in Computer Science at NYU I took a class in Computer Vision. The end goal of the class was to create a group project that would use aspects of what we learned.

My group decided to try using different Neural Networks to detect stop signs on roads. My group included: Jianglong He, Walter Lizardo and Wenxi Xu.

Conclusion

This was a great exploration of practically utilising neural networks in the computer vision setting. It was also very gratifying to create a system that was successful and could actually be utilised in a real world setting under the right circumstances.
