In Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technology, the robustness of Traffic Sign Classification (TSC) systems is crucial for ensuring safe navigation. Currently, TSC lack dedicated adversarial recovery methods, making them susceptible to attacks. This study embarks on an innovative path by adapting six established methods from general image classification (IC) in AVs. Prompted limited availability TSC-specific solutions, our research undertakes a comparative analysis these evaluate their applicability...

A behavior description helps analyze tiny objects, similar objects with weak visual information, and information. It plays a fundamental role in the identification classification of dynamic microscopic videos. To this end, we propose foldover features to describe objects. Foldover is defined as: Each frame an object's motion superimposed on same spatial plane spacetime order motion, result superposition motion. object contains temporal static features. Therefore, extracted based are In work,...
