Segmentation of Road Guidance Sign Symbols and Characters Based on Normalized RGB Chromaticity Diagram
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe a color segmentation based on the normalized RGB chromaticity diagram to extract the symbols and characters of road guidance signs. The proposed method separates blue color of the signs by utilizing the developed histogram on the normalized RGB chromaticity diagram for selecting the threshold automatically. The image morphology operator and the histogram projection technique are employed to extract the symbols and characters. From the experiments on the real scene images, the extraction rate of 97.3% is achieved.

Lip Detection Based-on Normalized Rgb Chromaticity Diagram
This paper presents a new lip detection method based-on normalized RGB chromaticity diagram. The method consists of three stages: face detection, lip region localization and lip detection. The popular Viola-Jones face detection technique is employed in the face detection stage. In the lip detection stage, lip color is extracted using our novel color segmentation method that exploits the distrib...
متن کاملSkin Color Segmentation Using Coarse-to-Fine Region on Normalized RGB Chromaticity Diagram for Face Detection
This paper describes a new color segmentation based on a normalized RGB chromaticity diagram for face detection. Face skin is extracted from color images using a coarse skin region with fixed boundaries followed by a fine skin region with variable boundaries. Two newly developed histograms that have prominent peaks of skin color and nonskin colors are employed to adjust the boundaries of the sk...

This paper presents a traffic sign detection method for signs close to road intersections and roundabouts, such as stop and yield (give way) signs. The proposed method relies on statistical templates built using color information for both segmentation and classification. The segmentation method uses the RGB-normalized (ErEgEb) color space for ROIs (Regions of Interest) generation based on a chr...

متن کاملReducing Light Change Effects in Automatic Road Detection
Automatic road extraction from aerial images can be very helpful in traffic control and vehicle guidance systems. Most of the road detection approaches are based on image segmentation algorithms. Color-based segmentation is very sensitive to light changes and consequently the change of weather condition affects the recognition rate of road detection systems. In order to reduce the light change ...
