Description

A kind of recognition methods of road signs
Technical field
The present invention relates to intelligent transportation field, be specifically related to road signs method for quickly identifying based on artificial neural network-Pulse Coupled Neural Network time signature.
Background technology
Nineteen ninety, people such as Eckhorn provide in the research of phenomenon at the visual cortex synchronizing pulse to cat, have proposed the mammalian nervous meta-model---the Eckhorn model.This model is called the pulse generation parts of neurn simulation device (neuromime), a modulation coupling unit and a cynapse link by one and forms.In order to remedy the deficiency of Eckhorn model, make it be applicable to Flame Image Process more, people have carried out various improvement to the Eckhorn model, are summed up by people such as Johnson at last, the Pulse Coupled Neural Network notion of (Pulse Coupled Neural Network is called for short PCNN) has been proposed.The two big characteristics that Pulse Coupled Neural Network is different from the Eckhorn model are modulation coupling and pulse generting machanism.The link input is modulated in nonlinear mode and is presented input, generates the internal activity item, and the link strength parameter can play the effect of link input to inside neurons activity influence size of regulating.Pulse Coupled Neural Network has adopted a kind of like this coupling scheme of modulating coupling rather than addition coupling, and this neuron that has just prevented from not have primary input is merely at the effect down-firing that links input, and this is very important for Flame Image Process.Pulse generates and has adopted neurn simulation device mode, and principle of work such as same step function are realized the dynamic threshold increase and decrease simultaneously, thereby with general I-N-F (integrate and fire) pattern a great difference is arranged.
Pulse Coupled Neural Network output each time can be represented with a two-dimensional matrix.When Pulse Coupled Neural Network was used for Flame Image Process, each pixel in the image was with regard to each neuron in the map network, and in fact its output be exactly a width of cloth bianry image, had represented the neuron of each iteration igniting.Calculate the neuronic sum of each iteration igniting, it was lined up by the time, just constituted the time signature of Pulse Coupled Neural Network.Because this time signature often is used to handle problems such as image recognition, therefore is also referred to as image signatures.It can be used as a characteristics of image in the image characteristics extraction.For the simple image of non-complex background, time signature has periodically and about uniqueness and distortion, rotation, translation and the flexible unchangeability of image.Discover,, only need to observe the content that the very short part of its time signature just can be known entire image for such image.
Intelligent transportation system (ITS) be with advanced person's infotech, data communication transmission, electronic sensor technology, electron controls technology and Computer Processing technology etc. integrated effectively apply to whole traffic administration and set up a kind of on a large scale in, comprehensive that play a role, in real time, comprehensive traffic transportation management system accurately and efficiently.Road signs identification is as the important step of intelligent transportation, and the information of being responsible for gathering relevant road signs makes vehicle travel by traffic rules.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention provides a kind of efficient recognition methods of road signs accurately, make its better service vehicle travel and manage, problems such as it is big that the utilization Pulse Coupled Neural Network solves the sample demand of traditional artificial neural network in handling image recognition and classification problem, and the training time is long.
In order to solve the problems of the technologies described above, the present invention adopts following technical scheme: a kind of recognition methods of road signs comprises the steps:
(1), utilize the hole filling technique to generate outer background image and interior background image respectively at each road signs image;
(2) outer background image pre-ignition: outer background image is imported among the corresponding Pulse Coupled Neural Network PCNN_outer, through twice iteration, generates external wave;
(3) interior background image pre-ignition: interior background image is imported among the corresponding Pulse Coupled Neural Network PCNN_inner, through twice iteration, and ripple in generating;
(4) upgrading external wave is not in that part of interior ripple in the former external wave;
(5) with new external wave as incremental record in the results set R of expression road signs housing;
(6) if new external wave is not empty, among the then new external wave input PCNN_outer, generate external wave, change step (4) over to; Not so, change step (7) over to;
(7) housing of road signs has been extracted,, extracted the interior figure of road signs again in conjunction with former figure; Should import among the corresponding Pulse Coupled Neural Network PCNN_signature by interior figure, write down the neuronic number of all previous iteration point fire, generate image signatures;
(8) searching image signature database, movement images signature similarity, identification road signs.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has following beneficial effect: with the novel artificial neural network---and Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) is as main handling implement, removes and the distinctive image signatures of production burst coupled neural network is realized identification to road signs by the traffic sign frame.
A. handle image recognition and classification problem with respect to artificial neural network in the past, do not need very big sample and training for a long time, thereby saved time overhead;
B. Pulse Coupled Neural Network is highly susceptible to hardware and realizes, its following of hardware supported obtained parallel processing speed be additive method can not compare.
C. Pulse Coupled Neural Network generates image time signature, and two-dimensional image information is converted into the one dimension time serial message, has reduced information processing amount in the identifying dramatically, has improved processing speed and efficient;
D. lines are simple, the background characteristic of simple because the road signs image has, and the time signature of its generation has the uniqueness about image.Therefore, the similarity of image time signature has just been represented the similarity degree between image.The time signature is approaching more, and the key diagram picture reaches unanimity more, otherwise then the image difference is big more.
E. the image time signature of Pulse Coupled Neural Network generation has distortion, rotation, translation and the flexible unchangeability about image, and therefore the deviation to original image has certain tolerance.
