Abstract
Recently, there have been many studies on object recognition around the vehicle and recognition of traffic signs and traffic lights in autonomous driving. In particular, such the recognition of traffic lights is one of the core technologies in autonomous driving. Therefore, many studies for such the recognition of traffic lights have been performed, the studies based on various deep learning models have increased significantly in recent. In addition, as a high-quality AI training data set for voice, vision, and autonomous driving is released on AIHub, it makes it possible to develop a recognition model for traffic lights suitable for the domestic environment using the data set. In this study, we developed a recognition model for traffic lights that can be used in Korea using the AIHub's training data set. In particular, in order to improve the recognition performance, we used various models of YOLOv4 and YOLOv5, and performed our recognition experiments by defining various classes for the training data. In conclusion, we could see that YOLOv5 shows better performance in the recognition than YOLOv4 and could confirm the reason from the architecture comparison of the two models.
