Abstract :
Virtual Generalizing Random Access Memory Weightless Neural Networks (VG-RAM WNN) is an effective machine learning technique that offers simple implementation and fast training and test. In this paper, we present a new approach for traffic sign recognition based on VG-RAM WNN. We evaluate its performance using the German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark (GTSRB), a large multi-class classification benchmark. Our experimental results showed that our VG-RAM WNN architecture for traffic sign recognition was able to rank at 4th position in the GTSRB evaluation system, with a recognition rate of 98.73%, and was overcome by only one automatic approach.
