Incremental learning based method for detecting and identifying traffic sign in traveling video

Abstract

The invention discloses an incremental learning based method for detecting and identifying a traffic sign in a traveling video, and is used for solving the technical problem of poor robustness in an existing traffic sign detection and identification method. The technical scheme is as follows: polymerization channel characteristics are adopted for training an Adaboost classifier, and a detector is improved; then a detection result of the detector serves as an observation value of a Kalman filter to perform motion model based tracing; in the tracing process, a new incremental SVM detector is trained on line; when the detection of an original Adaboost detector is failed due to apparent change of the sign, the online incremental detector is used for carrying out detection, the detection result serves as the observation value of the Kalman filter to be input, and targets incapable of being continuously detected are filtered; and finally, a tracing result of the same physical traffic sign is subjected to weighted voting of scale based Gaussian weight, a final identification result is obtained, and the detection and identification robustness are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for detecting and recognizing traffic signs, in particular to a method for detecting and recognizing traffic signs in a driving video based on incremental learning. Background technique [0002] Literature "Andreas Dongran Liu, Mohan M.Trivedi, Traffic Sign Detection for U.S.Roads: Remaining Challenges and a case for Tracking.IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference, pp.1394-1399.2014."The Adaboost method of cascaded classifiers is used for detection. This paper chooses Integrate channel features to extract features from input training data, then train a 3-layer Adaboost cascade classifier, and use sliding window method to detect input video data. This traffic sign detection method is too dependent on training data and feature extraction methods. For situations that have not appeared in the training data, false detections are prone to occur, or missed detections are caused by changes in target illumination,...
