摘要：In this paper, we present a computer vision based system for fast robust Traffic Sign Detection and Recognition (TSDR), consisting of three steps. The first step consists on image enhancement and thresholding using the three components of the Hue Saturation and Value (HSV) space. Then we refer to distance to border feature and Random Forests classifier to detect circular, triangular and rectangular shapes on the segmented images. The last step consists on identifying the information included in the detected traffic signs. We compare four features descriptors which include Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG), Gabor, Local Binary Pattern (LBP), and Local Self-Similarity (LSS). We also compare their different combinations. For the classifiers we have carried out a comparison between Random Forests and Support Vector Machines (SVMs). The best results are given by the combination HOG with LSS together with the Random Forest classifier. The proposed method has been tested on the Swedish Traffic Signs Data set and gives satisfactory results.
