Goal
 Guide the driver to drive in the correct lane and
at the right speed.
 support the driver during the tedious task of
remembering the large number of road signs.
Flowchart
Method: two modules
 Detection Module
 Stage 1:Color-Based, finding sign candidates.
 Stage 2:Shap-Based, Classification.
 Recognition Module
 Stage 1: GenteBoost with Sharing Features
 Stage 2: Rotation, scale, translation invariant
Detection Module
Stage 1: Color-Based Segmentation
 Road signs are designed using colors to reflect
it’s message.
 These colors stand out from the environment.
HIS color space
 hue saturation intensity (HSI) domain are
sufficient to isolate road signs in a scene.

and Recognition Based on Support Vector Machines", IEEE Transaction Intelligent Transportation
Systems, vol. 8, no. 2, pp. 264-278, 2007.
Threshold
 the response to varying wavelength and
intensity of standard imaging is nonlinear and
interdependent.
 The database GRAM and other image are used
to train the suitable threshold.
Candidate selection
 Each connected object is called a blob.
 A candidate blob must laeger than 30x30.
 aspect ratio is delimited between 1.9 and
1/1.9(suggested in [4])

Detection Module
Stage 2: Shape-Based Classification
 Then Distance to borders (DtBs)
feature and linear Support Vector
Machine (SVM) are used to classify
the shape of the blobs as [4].

linear SVM
 Database GRAM and other image.
 DtBs result.
 Classify the blobs into a certain shape,
i.e. circular, triangular, rectangular
shapes.

Recognition Module
Stage 1: GenteBoost with Sharing Features
 Use weak classifiers to form a stronger
classifier.
Road sign database
 30 x 30 pixel.
 108 road signs:




48 red triangular signs
36 red circular signs
15 blue circular signs
9 blue rectangular signs
Chromatic parts(1/2)
 20x20-pixel.
 5 types of red circular.
 used for ensuring the existence of the road
signs.
type2
type1
Type3,4,5
Chromatic parts(2/2)
 if the chromatic part matches one of the types,
we lower the threshold for the according type in
RST-Invariant template matching due to the
high probability that road sign in the same type
may appear.
Rotation, scale, translation invariant
(RST-invariant)
 Red road signs:
 Simply match the middle part of candidate
blob(20x20-pixel).
 The thresholds is adjusted by the result from the
GentleBoost detector.(only red circular signs)
 Blue road signs:
 Simply match the complete candidate blob (30x30pixel).
Step 1: Circular
sampling filter (Cifi)
 R is the radius of the template.
C(x, y)={C(x, y, r), r = 1 to R}
 Corr = correlation
 Ti is ith templates with the same shape
 If the Corr value is larger than a threshold tc, the
template Ti is passed to second step, otherwise, Ti will
be discard.
Step 2: Radial
sampling filter (Rafi)
 α is inclianation of Radial line, l is length of Radial line.
R(x,y) = R(x,y,α), α = 0 ~ 360}
 “cshiftj” means circular shifting j positions of the
argument vector.
 If Corr value is larger than a threshold tr, the template
Tk will be rotated with the corresponding angle and
passed to the final step.
Step 3: template matching filter step
 Corresponding with template which pass the
step2 ?
 There is no detail mention in this paper ?
Thresholds
 tc=0.9, tr=0.9, and tm=0.8
 tc=0.5, tr=0.5,and tm=0.45 for the
corresponding type of the candidate blob.
Experimental result(1/2)
 The detection rate and the false alarm rate for road
signs in GRAM database, which is also used in [27] and
[28], is 80.4% and 45.4, respectively.
 632 images for Experimental.

Experimental result(2/2)
This work…
 able to accurately classify different shapes of
road signs in difficult conditions.(rotations,
scaling, translations, and even partial
occlusions.)
 can run in almost real-time with 720x480-pixel
image with average 12 fps on a 3.0-GHz CPU.
Future work to improvements
 Same false alarm usually will not
appear in adjacent frames.
 Using different feature rather than
DtBs in shape classification.
 Extended to detect some other kinds
of signboards such as signs of gas
station or convenient shop
