چکیده

A method for automatic recognition of road signs identified in digital video images is proposed. The method is based on features extracted from cumulative histograms and supervised classification. The training of the classifier is done with a small number of images (1 to 6) from each sign type. A practical experiment with 260 images and 26 different road sign was carried out. The average classification accuracy of the method with the standard settings was found to be 93.6%. The classification accuracy is improved to 96.2% by accepting the sign types ranked 1st and 2nd by the classifier, and to 97.4% by also accepting the sign type ranked 3rd . These results indicate that this can be a valuable tool to assist Geographic Information System (GIS) updating process based on Mobile Mapping System (MMS) data.

Automatic Veriication of Roads in Digital Images Using Prooles

Update of geographic information systems (GIS) is very important. So far it is done mainly manually. In this paper we propose an approach for the automatic veriication of roads. It is a rst step towards a more automatic update procedure. The approach is based on up-to-date aerial images as well as GIS data. In the surroundings of GIS road-axes candidates for roadsides are searched for in the im...

Reducing 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 ...
