With the development of science and technology, artificial intelligence has been widely used in the transportation field, and research on the symmetry of artificial intelligence has become increasingly more in-depth. Traffic sign detection based on deep learning has the problems of different target shapes and high variability in the number of targets between different labels. To solve these problems from a lack of symmetry, the idea of applying the concept of balanced data and the deformable positioning region to a target recognition network is proposed. The research is based on the improvement of the Libra R-CNN. Aiming at the problem that the difficult-to-distinguish target in target detection has a high impact on detection, the idea of generating increasingly more diverse indistinguishable samples during training is proposed to improve the detection accuracy, which is verified by experiments. The experiment is carried out on the MS COCO 2017 and traffic sign datasets. The improved Libra R-CNN is 3 percentage points better than the unimproved Libra R-CNN's mean Average Precision (mAP). A large number of comparative experimental results show that the improved network is effective.
