Robust Road Signs Segmentation in Color Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an efficient method for road signs segmentation in color images. Color segmentation of road signs is a difficult task due to variations in the image acquisition conditions. Therefore, a color constancy algorithm is usually applied prior to segmentation, which increases the computation time. The proposed method is based on a log-chromaticity color space which shows good invariance properties to changing illumination. Thus, the method is simple and fast since it does not require color constancy algorithms. Experiments with a large dataset and comparison with other approaches, show the robustness and accuracy of the method in detecting road signs in various conditions.

متن کاملObject-Oriented Method for Automatic Extraction of Road from High Resolution Satellite Images
As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...
متن کاملRoad and Traffic Sign Color Detection and Segmentation - A Fuzzy Approach
This paper presents a new algorithm for color detection and segmentation of road signs based on fuzzy sets. The images were taken by a digital camera mounted in a car. The RGB image was converted into HSV color space, and segmented by using a set of fuzzy rules depending on the hue and saturation values of each pixel in the HSV color space. The fuzzy rules are used to extract the colors of the ...
متن کاملTraffic Signs Color Detection and Segmentation in Poor Light Conditions
This paper presents a new algorithm for color detection and segmentation of road signs in poor light conditions. The images were taken by a digital camera mounted in a car. The RGB channels of the digital images were enhanced separately by histogram equalization, and then a color constancy algorithm was applied to extract the true colors of the sign. The resultant image was then converted into ...

--In this paper we propose an image segmentation method based on multi-scale analysis using wavelets, this method has been developed and adapted to detect road signs (road signs and traffic lights). It is an approach to highlight objects in a road scene especially objects corresponding to a road signs. It relies on the use of 2D histograms highlighting the different modes and based on operation...
