Multi-Modal Traffic Sign Detection with Semantic Attributes for Autonomous Driving

Reliable traffic sign detection is a prerequisite for the global deployment of autonomous driving systems, where regulatory compliance and road safety depend on perceiving signs correctly across regions, ranges, and weather conditions. Despite recent progress, vision-based methods continue to face three fundamental limitations: poor cross-regional generalization due to high diversity across countries, degraded performance on small-object detection at long ranges (traffic signs occupy as little as $10{\times}10$ pixels at 200m), and fragile temporal tracking under the strongly non-linear perspective distortion that occurs as a vehicle approaches a sign. In this paper, we address the problem of robust, long-range, region-agnostic traffic sign perception by combining camera and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensing. We present a multi-modal detection framework whose Intensity-Aware Deformable Fusion module aligns retro-reflective LiDAR cues with camera features, anchoring detection on geometric invariants rather than region-specific visual appearance. We further introduce a dual motion-model tracker that explicitly accounts for non-linear perspective transformations during vehicle approach, substantially improving temporal consistency over linear motion assumptions. Additionally, we develop a semantic attribute classification pipeline that estimates occlusion level, readability, sign embeddedness, and road relevance, providing actionable context to downstream planning. Extensive evaluation on our dataset, spanning 60+ countries and 2,500+ hours of driving data, shows that the proposed pipeline achieves an Object Miss Ratio (OMR) of 0.49% across 221,068 evaluation sequences, demonstrating globally generalizable traffic sign perception in commercial-grade autonomous driving systems.
