چکیده

During the last 10 years, computer hardware technology has been improved rapidly. Large memory, storage is no longer a problem. Therefore some trade-off (dirty and quick algorithms) for traffic sign recognition between accuracy and speed should be improved. In this study, a new approach has been developed for accurate and fast recognition of traffic signs based on human vision models. It applies colour appearance model CIECAM97s to segment traffic signs from the rest of scenes. A Behavioural Model of Vision (BMV) is then utilised to identify the signs after segmented images are converted into grey-level representation. Two standard traffic sign databases are established. One is British traffic signs and the other is Russian traffic signs. Preliminary results show that around 90% signs taken from the British road with various viewing conditions have been correctly identified.

Method of Video-Measurements of Traffic Flow Characteristics at a Road Junction

In the theory of traffic flows the main characteristics are: intensity, speed, and density.  They make it possible to use hydrodynamic models. In connection with the development of modern highways and road networks, traffic flows behavior is becoming more and more complex and diverse. In particular, the B.Kerner studies have shown that the laminar solution of hydrodynamic models is poorly corre...

Recognition of traffic signs based on their colour and shape features extracted using human vision models

Colour and shape are basic characteristics of traffic signs which are used both by the driver and to develop artificial traffic sign recognition systems. However, these sign features have not been represented robustly in the earlier developed recognition systems, especially in disturbed viewing conditions. In this study, this information is represented by using a human vision colour appearance ...

Behavioral Analysis of Traffic Flow for an Effective Network Traffic Identification

Fast and accurate network traffic identification is becoming essential for network management, high quality of service control and early detection of network traffic abnormalities. Techniques based on statistical features of packet flows have recently become popular for network classification due to the limitations of traditional port and payload based methods. In this paper, we propose a metho...
