Computational Intelligence in Recent Communication Networks

Abstract

In autonomous driving, the precise detection of traffic signs is crucial. Accurate detection can dramatically reduce problems such as road accidents involving autonomous vehicles. Numerous algorithms and libraries have been developed to implement reliable and safe detection of traffic signs. In this project, we aim to examine the performance of two advanced neural network models, namely, convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks, and choose the most suitable one in terms of resistance and effectiveness for this particular application. This paper presents the simulations carried out and the results obtained.
