| contents | This paper tackles critical challenges in traffic sign recognition (TSR), which is essential for road safety -- specifically, class imbalance and instance scarcity in datasets. We introduce tailored data augmentation techniques, including synthetic image generation, geometric transformations, and a novel obstacle-based augmentation method to enhance dataset quality for improved model robustness and accuracy. Our methodology incorporates diverse augmentation processes to accurately simulate real-world conditions, thereby expanding the training data's variety and representativeness. Our findings demonstrate substantial improvements in TSR models performance, offering significant implications for traffic sign recognition systems. This research not only addresses dataset limitations in TSR but also proposes a model for similar challenges across different regions and applications, marking a step forward in the field of computer vision and traffic sign recognition systems. |
