Adaptive traffic road sign panels text extraction

چکیده
In this paper we present an approach to the detection and extraction of text in road sign panels. Text strings, indicators and signs extraction is efficiently performed so OCR algorithms can recognize different characters that may be present on the traffic plane. In a first step, basic color segmentation and shape classification is done for the purpose of detecting possible rectangular planes. Every detected plane is extracted from the original image and then reoriented. Chrominance and luminance histogram analysis and adaptive segmentation is carried out, and connected components labeling and position clustering is finally done for the arrangement of the different characters on the panel. Special emphasis has been placed on the adaptive segmentation. Experimental results have showed that following steps strongly depends on correct separation between the background and foreground objects of the panel. Moreover, OCR systems are highly sensitive to noise, and we have put special attention into it in order that the OCR system could be able to recognize characters properly. Key-Words: Road-sign, detection, classification, image segmentation.

In this paper, we propose a new pre-processing method for detecting road traffic sign based on visual saliency map model. Since the road traffic sign boards have dominent color contrast against environment, we consider the color opponents information with center surround difference normalization as an input feature extraction, which is effective to reduce noise influence as well as intensify th...

Introduction Providing dynamic roadside information to travelers for improved decision making is a key element of congestion management.1 Currently, this is achieved on highways through the deployment of electronic variable message signs (VMS). The theory behind the use of VMS is that enabling drivers to make better route decisions will lead to less congestion delay and better utiliz...
