Abstract

The invention discloses a traffic speed limit sign recognition method and a traffic speed limit sign recognition device. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out binarization on a sign image to obtain a binarized sign image composed of foreground and background pixel points with corresponding numbers, continuing to conduct segmentation on various connected domains in the binarized images composed of the foreground pixel points to segment connected domains meeting a preset single-character rule (i.e., single-character characteristic of speed limit sign) and extracting the connected domains to obtain candidate single characters; then combining the extracted candidate single characters to obtain a candidate sequence, and recognizing various single characters in the candidate sequence depending on the sequence to obtain required speed limit value. Obviously, the method disclosed by the invention realizes recognition of the traffic speed limit sign by virtue of a single-character recognition way; and compared with an overall recognition way, the recognition method based on character segmentation is not high in location precision on the traffic sign and is little affected by overall brightness and background of licenses plate as well as shape of the traffic sign; therefore, traffic speed limit sign recognition accuracy is finally improved.

Embodiment one
The present embodiment one discloses the recognition methods of a kind of traffic speed(-)limit sign, and with reference to figure 1, described method can comprise the following steps:
S101: the sign image obtaining object speed(-)limit sign on traffic indication board.
S102: carry out binary conversion treatment to described sign image, obtains binaryzation sign image, wherein, and the image of described binaryzation sign image for being made up of foreground pixel point and the background pixel point of respective number.
In order to solve the binaryzation problem of negative and positive board, illumination brightness irregularities, the present invention proposes following local binarization method: the distinguishing characteristics investigating each pixel in current pixel point and its field, and when described distinguishing characteristics meets default distinguishing characteristics standard, extract described current pixel point as foreground pixel point, provide support to be embodied as follow-up speed(-)limit sign identification, on the contrary, when not meeting described distinguishing characteristics standard, then by described current pixel point pixel as a setting.
Based on described local binarization method, the present embodiment extracts foreground pixel point especially by following process implementation from sign image:
A, utilize current pixel point p in formula (1) calculation flag image contiguous range in average brightness ave (p) of each pixel:
ave ( p ) = Σ - w ≤ i ≤ w Σ - w ≤ j ≤ w f ( p x - i , p y - j ) / ( 2 w + 1 ) 2 - - - ( 1 )
Wherein, w is the half size of neighborhood window, and x, y represent horizontal ordinate, the ordinate of pixel p respectively, and f is luminance function;
If brightness value f (p) of b current pixel point p is greater than predetermined threshold value with the difference of described average brightness ave (p), i.e. ave (p)-f (p) >T, then extract the foreground pixel point of current pixel point p as sign image, wherein, T is the size of set threshold value.
The local binarization method that the present invention proposes, relative to the overall binarization method of traditional images, is not subject to noise, uneven illumination is even, contrast is low impact, can reaches satisfied binaryzation effect.
S103: be partitioned into the connected domain that geometric properties meets default speed(-)limit sign monocase feature from each connected domain that described binaryzation sign image comprises, and extract each connected domain split, by each connected domain alternatively monocase extracted; Wherein, the connected region of described connected domain for being made up of foreground pixel point.
When carrying out binary conversion treatment to sign image, after obtaining the binaryzation sign image be made up of a series of foreground pixel point and background pixel point, this step identifies the connected region be made up of foreground pixel point in described binary image, identifies, obtain each connected domain, and the monocase rule continued according to presetting, height, width, the ratio of width to height etc. in each connected domain of mark are met the connected area segmentation of speed(-)limit sign monocase feature out, and the connected domain be partitioned into can with reference to the content in the white rectangle frame shown in figure 2.

Particularly, each candidate's monocase extracted carries out being combined to form candidate sequence according to the high similarity of each connected domain split in itself and binary image, width similarity, distance by this step.
S105: utilize respective symbols sorter to identify according to the order of sequence each candidate's monocase in described candidate sequence, obtain speed limit numerical value.
Each connected domain (i.e. candidate's monocase) that this step comprises candidate sequence identifies according to the order of sequence.
In practical application scene, for the situation having two connected regions, first of speed(-)limit sign can not be 0, second character is generally chosen " 0 " or " 5 ", therefore, candidate sequence is comprised to the situation of two connected domains, first identifies with adopting the sorter of " 1-9 ", and the second character sorter that " 0 " and " 5 " is formed identifies.
Correspondingly, according to the span of speed(-)limit sign character in practical application scene, candidate sequence is comprised to the situation of three connected domains, the sorter of " 1-9 " is adopted to identify it to first character of candidate sequence, the second sorter of " 0-2 " identifies, the 3rd is all that " 0 " need not identify.
The present embodiment specifically adopts the mode training classifier of BP (Back Propagation, backpropagation) feature+neural network, and through checking, its monocase discrimination accuracy rate of sorter that training generates is more than 98.5%.
By identifying according to the order of sequence each connected domain of candidate sequence, finally obtaining required speed limit numerical value, on this basis, safe driving prompting can be carried out according to the speed limit identified to driver further, effectively reducing traffic hazard incidence.
From above scheme, the present invention is carrying out binary conversion treatment to sign image, after obtaining the binaryzation sign image be made up of the foreground pixel point of respective number and background pixel point, continue to carry out dividing processing to each connected domain be made up of foreground pixel point in binary image, be partitioned into the connected domain meeting default monocase rule (i.e. speed(-)limit sign monocase feature), and extracted alternatively monocase; Follow-up candidate's monocase to extracting carries out combination and obtains candidate sequence, and by identifying according to the order of sequence each monocase in candidate sequence, obtains required speed limit numerical value.Visible, present invention achieves and by monocase recognition method, traffic speed(-)limit sign is identified, compared to overall recognition method, the locating segmentation of recognition methods to traffic sign that the present invention is based on Character segmentation is less demanding, and less by the impact of number plate overall brightness, background and traffic sign shape, thus finally improve the recognition accuracy of traffic speed(-)limit sign.
