본 논문에서는 도로 영상에서 검출된 자동차 영상을 종류별 분류를 위해 효과적인 질감 특징정보 기반의 자동차 종류별 분류 방안을 제안한다. 제안한 연구에서는 운전자의 안전운전지원을 위해 도로상에서 검출된 자동차 영역과 자신의 차량과 거리를 추정하기 위해 검출된 자동차의 종류를 인식할 필요가 있다. 즉, 인식된 자동차의 종류에 따라 차량 간 거리를 추정에 필요한 파라미터로 사용할 수 있기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 검출된 자동차 영상들로부터 GLCM(gray-level co-occurrence matrix)의 7가지의 특징정보들을 추출하고 SVM을 사용하여 학습 한 후 자동차의 종류(승용, 화물, 버스)를 분류하는 방법을 제안한다. GLCM은 영상이 가진 질감 정보를 효율적으로 분석함으로써 영역의 밝기 변화 정도, 거침 정도, 픽셀 분포 정도 등을 표현하기 때문에 영상내의 포함된 영역을 분류하는데 효과적이다. 제안한 방법을 실제 자동차 규모별 분류에 적용한 결과 약 83%의 분류 성공률을 제시하였다.

In recent years, image processing techniques for detecting road surface damaged spot have been actively researched. Especially, it is mainly used to acquire images through a smart phone or a black box that can be mounted in a vehicle and recognize the road surface damaged region in the image using several algorithms. In addition, in conjunction with the GPS module, the exact damaged location can be obtained. The most important technology is image processing algorithm. Recently, algorithms based on artificial intelligence have been attracting attention as research topics. In this paper, we will also discuss artificial intelligence image processing algorithms. Among them, an object detection method based on an region-based convolution neural networks method is used. To improve the recognition performance of road surface damage objects, 600 road surface damaged images and 1500 general road driving images are added to the learning database. Also, supervised learning using background object recognition method is performed to reduce false alarm and missing rate in road surface damage detection. As a result, we introduce a new method that improves the recognition performance of the algorithm to 8.66% based on average value of mAP through the same test database.

매년 도로와 주차공간의 확장보다 차량의 수가 빠르게 증가하여 그에 따라 불법 주차 관리의 어려움이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 지능형 주차 관리 시스템이 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 획득된 차량 영상에서 수직 에지의 특징을 이용하여 번호판 영역과 개별 코드를 추출하고, 추출된 개별 코드를 퍼지 신경망 알고리즘을 제안하여 학습 및 인식한다. 본 논문에서는 차량 번호판 영역을 검출하기 위해 프리윗 마스크를 적용하여 수직 에지를 찾고, 차량 번호판의 정보를 이용하여 잡음을 제거한 후에 차량 번호판 영역을 추출한다. 추출된 차량 번호판 영역은 반복 이진화방법을 적용하여 이진화하고, 이진화된 차량 번호판 영역에 대해서 수직 분포도와 수평 분포도를 이용하여 번호판의 개별 코드를 추출한다 추출된 개별 코드는 제안된 퍼지 신경망 알고리즘을 적용하여 인식한다. 제안된 퍼지 신경망은 입력층과 중간층간의 학습 구조로는 FCM 알고리즘을 적용하고 중간층과 출력층간의 학습 구조는 Max_Min 신경망을 적용한다. 제안된 방법의 추출 및 인식 성능을 평가하기 위하여 실제 차량 영상 150장을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 기존의 차량 번호판 인식 방법보다 효율적이고 인식 성능이 개선된 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for initializing a target vehicle detection, tracking the vehicle and estimating the distance from it on the stereo images acquired from a forward-looking stereo camera mounted on a road driving vehicle. The process of vehicle detection extracts road region using lane recognition and searches vehicle feature from road region. The distance of tracking vehicle is estimated by TSS correlogram matching from stereo Images. Through the simulation, this paper shows that the proposed method segments, matches and tracks vehicles robustly from image sequences obtained by moving stereo camera.

The specifications of signboards are set for each type of signboards, but the shape and size of the signboard actually installed are not uniform. In addition, because the colors of the signboard are not defined, so various colors are applied to the signboard. Methods for recognizing signboards can be thought of as similar methods of recognizing road signs and license plates, but due to the nature of the signboards, there are limitations in that the signboards can not be recognized in a way similar to road signs and license plates. In this study, we proposed a methodology for recognizing plate-type signboards, which are the main targets of illegal and old signboards, and automatically extracting areas of signboards, using the deep learning-based Faster R-CNN algorithm. The process of recognizing flat type signboards through signboard images captured by using smartphone cameras is divided into two sequences. First, the type of signboard was recognized using deep learning to recognize flat type signboards in various types of signboard images, and the result showed an accuracy of about 71%. Next, when the boundary recognition algorithm for the signboards was applied to recognize the boundary area of the flat type signboard, the boundary of flat type signboard was recognized with an accuracy of 85%.

The traffic sign on the road should be easy to distinguishable even from far, and should be recognized in a short time. As traffic sign is a very important object which provides important information for the drivers to enhance safety, it has to attract human's attention among any other objects on the road. This paper proposes a new method of detecting the area of traffic sign, which uses attention module on the assumption that we attention our gaze on the traffic sign at first among other objects when we drive a car. In this paper, we analyze the previous studies of psycophysical and physiological results to get what kind of features are used in the process of human's object recognition, especially color processing, and with these results we detected the area of traffic sign. Various kinds of traffic sign images were tested, and the results showed good quality(average 97.8% success).

In this paper, we propose a road lane color recognition method from the image obtained from a driving vehicle. In autonomous vehicle techniques, lane information becomes more important as the level of autonomous driving such as lane departure warning and dynamic lane keeping assistance is increased. In particular the lane color recognition, especially the white and the yellow lanes, is necessary technique because it is directly related to traffic accidents. In this paper, color information of lane and road area is mapped to a 2-dimensional S-color space based on lane detection. And the center of the feature distribution is obtained by using an improved mean-shift algorithm in the S-color space. The lane color is determined by using the distance between the center coordinates of the color features of the left and right lanes and the road area. In various illumination conditions, about 97% color recognition rate is achieved.

This paper presents a method for speed limit sign recognition in images. Conventional sign recognition methods decreases recognition accuracy because they are very sensitive and include repeated features. The proposed method emphasizes color attributes based on the weighted YUV color space. Moreover, the recognition accuracy can be improved by extracting the local region of interest (ROI) in the candidates. The proposed method uses the Haar features and the Adaboost classifier for recognition. Experimental results confirm that the proposed algorithm is superior to conventional algorithms under various speed signs and conditions.

A method of the region extraction and recognition of a traffic light and speed sign board in the real road environment is proposed. Traffic light was recognized by using brightness and color information based on HSI color model. Speed sign board was extracted by measuring red intensity from the HSI color information We improve the recognition rate by performing an incline compensation of the speed sign for directions clockwise and counterclockwise. The proposed algorithm shows a robust recognition rate in the image sequence which includes traffic light and speed sign board.
