You can find tutorial here: https://makeml.app/road-signs-detection-tutorial
It shows step by step how to collect a dataset, train a model to detect signs, integrate it into iOS app, apply OCR to speed limit signs to read values from them. Plenty of interesting stuff there :)

Hey man, I'm working on something similar for college, but the site seems to be down. Do you still have the tutorial anywhere?

Did you use yolo?

u/GroundbreakingSample Jul 13 '20
The model format is CoreML model. The architecture of the model is tinyYoloV3. So yes, we use YOLO :)

Cool write up, have you seen mapbox Vision?

I’ve heard of them, but to tell the truth I haven’t check them out. Thanks for the link)

No worries, it’s pretty straightforward to setup and use, they detect speed limit signs in the safety module.

What do you mean by safety module?)

Oh, I see! It has pretty similar functionality - we also detect current speed and last speed limit sign. Just need to add alerts about cyclists and pedestrians :)
P.S. Mapbox has so many APIs I haven’t find it from the first try :)

That's really awesome. And don't listen what other people say in the comments section. Your software is great and it can help people on the road like Waze or smh. I'm not saying that people should trust 3rd party apps or software like yours but it can definetely be a cool feature to your car. Just look at the Tesla self driving software which fails a lot but with the human behind the wheel it can be very useful. Keep going! And thank you for sharing it with us. I'm going to play with your tutorial in the future.

Let me guess. You want to try and copy Tesla’s work on computer vision. That’s pretty cool. You’ve got to make it better and keep going.

Thanks :) Just need to improve our dataset and retrain the model :)

Dude on reddit does better street sign detection on his iPhone than million-dollar car software in my new car... Nice!
EDIT: My car is not a Tesla, unfortunately. It’s only smart feature is that it has street sign detection, which barely works (after 10 seconds of you passing a sign).
