THE COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT YOLO MODELS FOR TRAFFIC SIGN DETECTION

Abstract

Traffic signs are placed on highways to warn drivers travelling on the highway in terms of road restrictions. It is important for driving safety that these signs are correctly detected and that the restrictions required by the traffic sign are obeyed. In recent years, many studies have shown that deep learning algorithms are successful in object classification and detection. In this study, deep learning based ‘You Only Look Once’ (YOLO) algorithms are compared in terms of traffic sign detection. Firstly, a four-class traffic sign dataset consisting of 877 images is collected. Then, YOLOv5, YOLOv8 and YOLOv9 algorithms are analyzed in terms of traffic sign recognition. In the experimental studies, in order to evaluate the performance of the detection algorithms, recall, precision, f1 score and mAP performance evaluation criteria are analyzed. According to the experimental results obtained, the Recall metric of YOLOv9 is 90.8%, mAP@0.5 metric is 93.1% , and mAP@0.5:0.95 metric is 77.7%. These results validate that YOLOv9 is the best traffic sign detection algorithm.
