Traffic sign recognition is an integral part of driver assistance systems play a crucial role in enhancing road safety. Due to a large number of challenging targets, such as occlusion, distortion, and small targets in actual scenes, existing methods still have bottlenecks in the accuracy of detection and recognition. Therefore, this paper proposes a real-time traffic sign recognition model based on scale sequence features (SSFs) and high-order spatial interactions (HOSIs) on the basis of YOLOv5. This model extracted scale-invariant SSF using a high-dimensional convolution on the underlying feature map to improve the detection effect of multi-scale targets. At the same time, recursive gated convolution modules are integrated into the feature pyramid network, expanding the interactions to arbitrary order and providing richer feature information for high-order convolutions. In addition, a cross-stage partial (CSP) structure is incorporated into the spatial pooling pyramid, which improves the structure’s performance without introducing excessive computational complexity. The experimental results show that the proposed model achieves 95.5% and 99.92% of mAP on Tsinghua–Tencent 100K (TT100K) and German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark (GTSRB), respectively, which surpass the performance of the most advanced model and meets the requirements of real-time detection.
