Description

Traffic signal lamp identification method and system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of image recognition, in particular to a traffic signal lamp recognition method and a traffic signal lamp recognition system.
Background
The detection and identification of the traffic signal lamp are key technologies in the field of automatic driving perception, and have very important research values. At present, a plurality of scholars at home and abroad carry out extensive research on the detection and identification of the traffic signal lamp, and provide effective methods for detecting and identifying the traffic signal lamp.
Firstly, the purpose of detecting a circular signal lamp is realized by utilizing a Lab color space by using Mahipa.R.Yelal and the like, the color space of an image is converted, the RGB color space is converted into the Lab color space, then the image is divided, a candidate region of the signal lamp is obtained by clustering, the signal lamp is identified by utilizing edge feature extraction, the robustness of an algorithm is enhanced by the conversion of the color space, the algorithm can obtain a good identification effect in a simple background environment, but the algorithm cannot meet the practical requirement when being applied to a complex background environment; secondly, Masako Omachi and the like propose a method for detecting a signal lamp by using Hough transform, and simultaneously combine edge extraction and pixel clustering methods, color normalization is carried out on an RGB color space before processing, then color segmentation is carried out, an area meeting the color characteristics of the traffic signal lamp is taken as a candidate area, edge extraction is carried out on the candidate area, and a round signal lamp is detected by Hough transform. The method basically meets the requirement of real-time performance, but has poor anti-interference capability, cannot effectively eliminate the interference of impurities such as a traffic sign board, an automobile tail lamp and the like, and is easily influenced by light, and Masako and the like propose a signal lamp detection algorithm based on template matching, firstly, a signal lamp template is defined, and the whole image is matched with the template to detect and identify the traffic signal lamp, the method is less influenced by color factors, but when the scene is complex or an interference area similar to the shape of the signal lamp exists, errors are easily generated, and the algorithm calculation amount is large; fourthly, Kuo Hao Lu and the like provide a new method for detecting and identifying traffic lights, the method can identify not only round traffic lights, but also arrow-shaped traffic lights, the algorithm adopts HSI color space, image segmentation is carried out by using a fixed threshold value, the two types of traffic lights are respectively identified by using the geometric characteristics of the traffic lights, although the detection of the two types of traffic lights is realized, the algorithm only detects according to the geometric characteristics, so that the algorithm has higher false detection rate and omission ratio.
In summary, the identification of the traffic signal lamp can be roughly divided into two research directions, namely, the identification of the traffic signal lamp based on the color information and the identification of the traffic signal lamp based on the shape information, wherein the former can achieve a better identification effect on an image with the color of the traffic signal lamp obviously and strongly contrasted with the background environment, but is greatly influenced by light rays and cannot be applied to the detection of the traffic signal lamp in the complex background environment; although the latter can overcome the influence of factors such as color blurring and light unevenness, the detection may fail due to the fact that the signal lamp or the interferent with similar shapes in the environment is partially shielded, and accurate identification of the traffic signal lamp cannot be achieved only according to the shape characteristics.

Specifically, the Resnet18 network model may be used to classify the target image to obtain the color information and shape information of the traffic signal in the target image, and the corresponding confidence level. The reliability is a judgment basis of the shape information and the color information accuracy of the traffic signal lamp, namely the color information of the traffic signal lamp, namely the red, green and yellow color information and the shape information, namely the driving direction pointing icon, for example, whether the information of the green light and the left turn pointing icon is accurate or not can be judged through the reliability.

S6, if the reliability is equal to or less than the set threshold, the target image is subjected to image processing.
In one embodiment of the present invention, if the confidence level is less than or equal to the set threshold, for example, the confidence level is less than or equal to 0.8, the image processing may be performed on the target image, for example, the ROI image of the traffic signal a shown in fig. 3.
