Abstract:

Designing accurate and time-efficient real-time traffic sign recognition systems is a crucial part of developing the intelligent vehicle which is the main agent in the intelligent transportation system. Traffic sign recognition systems consist of an initial detection phase where images and colors are segmented and fed to the recognition phase. The most challenging process in such systems in terms of time consumption is the detection phase. The tradeoff in previous studies, which proposed different methods for detecting traffic signs, is between accuracy and computation time. Therefore, this paper presents a novel accurate and time-efficient color segmentation approach based on logistic regression. We used RGB color space as the domain to extract the features of our hypothesis; this has boosted the speed of our approach since no color conversion is needed. Our trained segmentation classifier was tested on 1000 traffic sign images taken in different lighting conditions. The results show that our approach segmented 974 of these images correctly and in a time less than one-fifth of the time needed by any other robust segmentation method.
