SMDDFNet is a deep learning detector designed for traffic sign images, addressing challenges such as small objects, scale variation, and occlusion. It combines a Dynamic Dual Fusion (DDF) module—integrating multi-scale attention and frequency‑domain dynamic filtering—with a state‑space modeling backbone that captures long‑range dependencies efficiently. A multi‑scale feature fusion neck further aggregates pyramid features, enabling robust localization of small signs while maintaining real‑time throughput on datasets like TT100K, GTSDB, PASCAL VOC, and Roboflow.

Currently, autonomous driving object detection models face significant data scarcity and generalization challenges when navigating complex Chinese rural traffic scenarios. To address these limitations, we propose a novel real-synthetic mixed object detection dataset tailored specifically for Chinese rural roads and systematically evaluate the performance of 13 mainstream detectors under different real-to-synthetic data ratios, thereby providing empirical evidence for model selection and data strategy design in rural autonomous driving scenarios.
The paper surveys one‑stage object detectors for autonomous driving, covering the evolution from early models like YOLOv1 and SSD to recent real‑time architectures such as YOLOv10 and anchor‑free detectors like FCOS and CenterNet. It compares these methods on design choices, feature‑fusion strategies, loss functions, deployment trade‑offs, and benchmark performance, while also summarizing datasets, evaluation metrics, open challenges, and future research directions. The survey emphasizes how one‑stage detectors balance speed, accuracy, efficiency, and robustness, noting the gap between benchmark results and dependable real‑world performance.
