Embodiment
The present invention is specifically described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
The invention provides a kind of method for traffic sign detection being combined based on color with shape facility, this method step It is as follows:
(1), extraction color characteristic
Using HSV colorimetry models, suspicious object color is extracted to entire image by assigning corresponding value to H, S, V;Example Such as, blueness, red, yellow etc..
(2), extraction shape facility
To entire image after color extraction only be left with target traffic sign color identical region, now, by right Regional carries out the shape extraction based on region, by asking circularity, rectangular degree, range of extension to sentence the shape of regional It is disconnected, and only leave and take circular, rectangle and delta-shaped region.
(3)Morphologic filter
The noise at the boundary of image is removed as smoothing filter using two-dimensional Gaussian function, so that target image is more Add smooth;By expanding and corroding the noise such as the burr reduced in image, fuzzy and remove the dead color smaller than structural element carefully Section, image overall gray value and big dark areas is kept to be basically unchanged.
(4)Suspicious object is extracted
By the shape facility extracted after morphologic filter, with original image carry out and computing, so as to extract colour Target image, i.e. Traffic Sign Images.
Traffic sign is exactly a kind of very lively language for driver, and the driving procedure of driver is almost entirely This traffic language information is handled by vision system.Want to accomplish to abide by known or unfamiliar environment Traffic rules are kept, it is exactly crucial premise accurately, timely to identify traffic sign.
But often the notice of people is not in complete set, easily by external interference object in driving procedure(Than Such as say phone, big small advertisement, passerby, vehicle)Influence, and ignore traffic mark board.Therefore from the 1980s Mid-term starts, and various traffic sign recognition methods are just constantly suggested, for reminding driver to reach the purpose of safe driving.But Due to diversity and complexity that scene is arbitrarily brought, the also high request to accuracy, real-time and robustness etc., It result in and up to the present go back the relatively good system of the real effect of neither one.Because research object is the unforeseen complicated back of the body Traffic sign under scape, therefore the present invention is in illumination variation, color incompleteness, shooting angle, blurring or distortion and mark Aspect of blocking all done comprehensive consideration, to reach exclusive PCR, automatically, timely find out traffic mark board, detection mark Will information, and driver is promptly fed back to, driving safety is farthest improved, the possibility that accident occurs is reduced, makes to drive Sailing becomes more safe and light.
China's traffic sign directly relevant with traffic safety is divided into 3 major classes, total 131 kinds (not include deriving from Mark).Wherein, prohibitory sign 48, Warning Mark 36, caution sign 47.The research object of the present invention is this 131 Traffic sign.
1)Warning Mark:Vehicle and the traveling of pedestrian are used to refer to, the color characterized by blueness, is shaped as circular or rectangular Shape.
2)Caution sign:Danger for alerting vehicle and pedestrian place, the color characterized by yellow, except " emergency lane " Outside for rectangle, shape is the equilateral triangle on angular.
3)Prohibitory sign:For being prevented or restricted from the traveling of vehicle and pedestrian, in addition to " ban releasing " characterized by red Color, except " Stop and give way " and " giving way " outer shape is circle.
Analyzed more than, traffic sign frame there are blue, black, red three kinds of colors, and shape has circular, triangle and square Shape, therefore, region that can be according to where the color of traffic sign frame detects traffic sign in traffic image with shape localization Position.So the extraction by first carrying out yellow, red, blueness and black portions to entire image, is carried by scanning afterwards Take shape facility such as triangle, circle and the rectangle in region.The suspicious region of traffic sign can probably be extracted.Fig. 1 is friendship The color of logical Mark Detection-shape pairing model and just classification.
Because the single features of image describe the content of image unavoidable excessively unilateral, it is only capable of giving the part attribute of image With expression, for the different demands of different user, the retrieval of single features is usually ineffective, and is based on color and shape feature The retrieval being combined, the expression to picture material more comprehensively, so as to maximize favourable factors and minimize unfavourable ones, obtain more preferable retrieval effectiveness.
(1)Extract color characteristic
The color space mainly used in terms of color extraction has RGB, HSI, LAB, HSV etc..Wherein, RGB color It is most basic, most widely used, almost all of other spaces can be changed by rgb space.But it reacts The information of image is not directly perceived enough, does not meet the perception of human vision, and three variables have certain phase in RGB color Guan Xing so that image is easier to be influenceed by illumination.In HSI models, although tri- component relevance very littles of H, S, I, compared with For independence, but the unstable of tone can be caused when saturation degree and relatively low brightness, be not used to the detection of traffic sign, only have The tone that standby certain saturation degree and brightness value can just be stablized, therefore, real-time color detection is not applied to.LAB colors Space is a kind of color mode formulated by the International Commission on Illumination of tailor measurement color standard.Color can directly be used The geometric distance in space carries out the comparison of different colours, therefore is effectively used for measuring small aberration, but because it is non-thread Property conversion, therefore amount of calculation is larger, and color space has singular point.
Hsv color space is the reduced form in Munsell colour space, is the tone with color(H), saturation degree(S), it is bright Degree(V)It is three elements come what is represented, is that non-linear color represents system.Wherein, tone is the attribute for describing pure color, and saturation degree is The measurement for the degree that description pure color is diluted by white light, brightness are subjective description, embody colourless brightness concept, are The key parameter of color perception is described.Hsv color space is consistent with perception of the people to color, and in HSV space, people is to color The perception of difference is more uniform, is the color space for being adapted to human vision property.We are compact from visual consistency, integrality below Property, several aspects such as naturality are compared to above-mentioned color space, as shown in table 1.
The comparison of 1 several chrominance spaces of table
As can be seen from the above table in hsv color space, be advantageous to the processing of image, such as the segmentation of rim detection, image With target identification etc..Therefore, this patent carries out the color extraction of the first step using hsv color space to entire image.
(2)Extract shape facility
Shape facility is one of core feature of image, and the shape information of image does not change with the change of color of image, It is the invariant feature of object.Picture shape feature can distinguish the object of identical category, and color and texture usually do not have There is this feature.It is and very directly perceived with shape facility difference object.Therefore, retrieval can be improved using shape facility retrieval image Accuracy and efficiency.
To based on the Type division that shape image is retrieved, into two kinds, a kind of is the characteristic key based on image-region, another Kind is the retrieval based on edge feature.Shape description based on edge is the description to surrounding the profile of target area, and it is not examined Consider the information of shaped interior.This kind of description typically has two kinds of forms of continuous type and discrete type.The description method of continuous type is also referred to as Global type, it is to extract characteristic vector from the entirety of profile;The description method of discrete type is also referred to as structural type, and it is to take turns Exterior feature extracts corresponding feature after being divided into many fragments.In the image retrieval based on edge feature, we are through commonly used side The method of boundary's extraction operator mainly has:Canny operators, Laplacian operators, Sobel operators and Roberts operators etc..It is based on The description method in region is to regard shape area as an entirety, using all pixels in region, by noise and change in shape Influence it is relatively small, the method for expressing is divided into global type and local type two types.The provincial characteristics of shape mainly has region Area, Euler's numbers, dispersion, eccentricity, area invariant moment, region framework, set not bending moment, Zernike squares, angular radius become The methods of changing.
For retive boundary extraction, extracted region accuracy is higher, and due to the color extraction of previous step, has made whole Width image binaryzation, complex background is had no, therefore be based on extracted region algorithm, carrying for target area suspicious can be realized completely Take.In summary, this patent is using global type region description extraction suspicious object.
(3)Morphologic filter
1)Smoothed image
In order to remove the noise at the boundary of image, we implement smoothing processing by gaussian filtering method to target image. Among the various noises of image, Gaussian noise be it is most, for filter Normal Distribution in image edge noise I Carried out generally by gaussian filtering method.Therefore, it is to use the Gaussian function with two dimension that we, which handle image, herein Number is carried out as smoothing filter.The expression formula of the Gaussian function of two dimension is as follows:
This patent can be eliminated the noise at the boundary of image using gaussian filtering method, so that target image is more flat Sliding, accurate extraction of these pretreatment operations for ensuring picture shape feature plays a good role.
2)Expansion and corrosion
Mathematical morphology can be extracted from image for expression and the useful picture content of description region shape, in two-value In image, the set of all black picture elements is the complete morphology description of image.Morphologic basic operation has expansion and corrosion. First corrode to expand afterwards and be called out operation, first expand post-etching and be called closed operation.Opening operation can make target area profile become smooth, Disconnect narrow interruption and eliminate thin protrusion, meanwhile, it will not substantially change the area of target area again.It is defined as:
A ο B=(A Θ B) ⊕ B
Closed operation can diminish narrow interruption and long thin wide gap, eliminate small hole, and the fracture filled up in contour line, The effect on its smooth border in the case where unobvious change area.It is defined as:
AB=(A ⊕ B) Θ B
By opening operation and closed operation, the point isolated in image and the fine grained chippings of some interference formation can be eliminated, while Object boundary point can be eliminated, the objective area in image area after corrosion can also compensated.Then with 3 × 3 rectangular window Mouth carries out medium filtering to image, can play the work for further eliminating picture noise, spot, further segmentation object and background With.
(4)Suspicious object is extracted
After morphologic filter, the contour of object in image just becomes apparent from clear, needs to extract suspicious area first X, y direction coordinate starting point in domain, as shown in Fig. 2 obtaining the zone length in direction, and area is less than to the region of certain given threshold Remove.
Traffic sign of different shapes has different attributes, such as barycenter Edge Distance figure, circularity, rectangular degree, elongation Degree etc..As shown in figure 3, using in scheming at dotted arrow meaning as starting point, rotate counterclockwise one week, ask barycenter and each edge successively The distance between point, the second row is the barycenter Edge Distance figure of 3 kinds of different shape traffic signs in figure, and wherein abscissa represents The pixel number that traffic sign edge image includes, ordinate represent barycenter to the distance value of edge pixel point.
The characteristics of integrating circular, triangle and rectangle each, this patent choose circularity, rectangular degree and elongation as shape The major parameter of shape feature extraction.Wherein, circularity refers mainly to object close to the degree of theoretical circle;Rectangular degree reflect object with The similar degree of rectangle;And elongation then that refer to material because external force effect be deformed after extend degree.By asking The minimum, maximum and average value for going out barycenter to Edge Distance obtain circularity, rectangular degree and the elongation in region.
Specific formula is as follows:
The circularity in region:Cratio=4*pi*S/P^2;
The rectangular degree in region:Rratio=S/(W*H);
The elongation in region:Eratio=min(W,H)/max(W,H);
Wherein, the girth in P- regions, S- region areas, W-x directions zone length, H-y directions zone length.
Scholar Miguel A.Garc ' 1a-Garrido are in the paper on road traffic sign detection delivered in 2012, together Sample using color by the way of shape facility is combined, but its shape extract part, enter using discrete candy operators Row bound is extracted, and recognition failures can be caused due to breakpoint in extraction process.Such as shown in figure below.This is two adjacent circles Shape traffic sign, due to the breakpoint of Discrete Operator, cause mark of two circle markers by flase drop into a connection.
From experimental result as can be seen that the effect extracted using color or shape merely is all undesirable, color is utilized When, especially in blue logo is extracted, because most car plates are also blueness, so be easy to car plate carrying out extraction by mistake, so as to Influence experimental result.And when being extracted using shape facility, due to the complex background under natural environment so that it extracts effect Fruit is worse.To sum up, based on color and shape collective effect combine road traffic sign detection, the expression to picture material more comprehensively, So as to maximize favourable factors and minimize unfavourable ones, more preferable retrieval effectiveness is obtained.Table 2 is carried out pair by quoting recall ratio and precision ratio to three kinds of methods Than.
Wherein, the sample image of definition datum inquiry is set as N, and the image set for retrieving image is set as M, can obtain:
The number of the associated picture retrieved is:
The number of flase drop is:
The number of missing inspection is:
The number of nd irrelevant image is:
Herein, VmOn the basis of retrieve the correlation of the image that image and ordinal number are m, Vm∈(0,l);K is cutoff.Look into The criterion of the two retrieval Performance Evaluations of quasi- rate and recall ratio, we several more than can be worth.
(1)Precision ratio:Precision ratio is commonly used to assess the ability that image indexing system rejects irrelevant image, and what it was obtained is The ratio shared by image correctly searched among retrieval set.
Precision ratio:
(2)Recall ratio:Recall ratio is used for determining the ability that image indexing system retrieves associated picture, and what it was obtained is to have Imitate the ratio of the quantity of all similar images in image data base shared by image.
Recall ratio:
The contrast of 2 three kinds of algorithm recall ratios of table and precision ratio
In summary, the road traffic sign detection algorithm being combined based on color with shape facility that this patent proposes, no matter It is in recall ratio or in terms of precision ratio, better than individually using colored or shape detection algorithm.Color and shape are used with same The method that shape combines is compared, and the inventive method can more highlight the traffic sign to be extracted, and it is small to extract error.And by Entire image is filtered for the first time using color in first, this eliminates the substantial amounts of complicated back of the body for the Shape Feature Extraction of next step Scape and interference, greatly save the time of Shape Feature Extraction and improve its Detection accuracy, have in the process of the present invention very well Robustness, real-time, suitable for practical application.
