The authors extended YOLOv2 with intermediate prediction layers (branched architecture) to allow early exit for easy cases, and introduced geometric features from Bayesian segmentation to distinguish visually similar signs.

The authors constructed a dataset by combining GTSDB and GTSRB using seamless cloning and controlled image transformations.
