Road Traffic Sign Saliency Map Model

چکیده
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 the sign board color characteristics. Also, the edge feature map is considered to reflect the shape characteristics of the traffic sign boards. The weighted sum of the color feature map and edge feature map finally constructs road traffic sign saliency map. Computational experiment results show that the proposed method can successfully reinforce a road traffic sign board and inhibit the complex background traffic environment.

Road signs play a significant role in traffic control and road safety trough driver’s guidance, warning, and information. They are the main communication media towards the drivers. To be effective, they must be visible, legible and comprehensible. Road engineers and traffic manager, respectively aim at designing and placing in the road environment, road signs enough salient so that they attract...

Road signs, the main communication media towards the drivers, play a significant role in road safety and traffic control through drivers‟ guidance, warning, and information. However, not all traffic signs are seen by all drivers, which sometimes lead to dangerous situations. In order to manage safer roads, the estimation of the legibility of the road environment is thus of importance for road e...

There has been an increasing concern about inactive drivers who would easily lead to road accidents and fatalities once return to driving. This study investigated the re-usability of traffic signs for inactive drivers with consideration of driver factors and cognitive sign features. Fifty-seven Hong Kong Chinese, who possessed a full driving license but had not driven for an extended period, co...

In this paper, we propose a new approach to detect salient traffic signs, which is based on visual saliency and auto-generated strokes for image segmentation. The proposed algorithm deals with two tasks on detecting traffic signs: auto-location and auto extraction. Firstly, inspired by recent work of visual saliency detection, we obtain the location of traffic signs in a natural image by multi-...
