PURPOSES: This study is to develop a road traffic sign recognition and automatic positioning for road facility management. METHODS: In this study, we installed the GPS, IMU, DMI, camera, laser sensor on the van and surveyed the car position, fore-sight image, point cloud of traffic signs. To insert automatic position of traffic sign, the automatic traffic sign recognition S/W developed and it can log the traffic sign type and approximate position, this study suggests a methodology to transform the laser point-cloud to the map coordinate system with the 3D axis rotation algorithm. RESULTS: Result show that on a clear day, traffic sign recognition ratio is 92.98%, and on cloudy day recognition ratio is 80.58%. To insert exact traffic sign position. This study examined the point difference with the road surveying results. The result RMSE is 0.227m and average is 1.51m which is the GPS positioning error. Including these error we can insert the traffic sign position within 1.51m CONCLUSIONS: As a result of this study, we can automatically survey the traffic sign type, position data of the traffic sign position error and analysis the road safety, speed limit consistency, which can be used in traffic sign DB.

In this paper, we presents the algorithm which is to recognize the traffic sign on the road the traffic signal in a video image for autonomous navigation. First, the rocognition of traffic sign on the road can be detected using boundary point estimation form some scan-lines within the lane deducted. For this algorithm, index matrix method is used to detemine what sign is. Then, the traffic signal recognition is performed by usign the window minified by several scan-lines which position may be expected. For this algoritm, line profile concept is adopted.

The road sign in dynamic traffic system is an important element which affects on human cognitive performance on driving. Web-based vision system simulator was developed to examine the cognition time of the road sign in dynamic environment. This experiment the cognition time of the road sign in dynamic environment. This experiment was designed in with-subject design with two factors: vehicle speed and the amount of information of the traffic sign. It measured the cognition time of the road sign through two evaluation methods: the subjective test with vision system simulator and computational cognitive model. In these two evaluations of human cognitive performance under the dynamic traffic environment, it demonstrated that subject's cognition time was affected by both the amount of information of traffic sign and driving speed.

본 연구의 목적은 서로 다른 시력조건하에서 도로명판과 도로표지판에 대한 판독거리와 판독시 안구의 움직임 (응시시간, 응시수)에 대한 측정을 수행하였다. 실험은 실제 도로상황과 유사한 환경을 가진 폐쇄순환도로에서 피실험자가 실제 차량을 운전하면서 실시되었으며, 실험을 위하여 규격에 맞게 제작되어진 도로명판과, 도로 양옆에 위치해 있는 실제 교통표지판 (도로명판, 속도제한 표지판)을 이용하였다. 시력조건은 안경렌즈를 이용하여, 시력이 1.2인 조건과 1.0 그리고 0.8의 조건을 구현하였으며, 각 실험자가 3가지의 시력 조건에 대해 실험을 수행하였다. 시력조건이 1.2 인 경우와 0.8인경우의 판독거리는 유의한 수준의 차이를 보였으며, 응시시간과 응시수는 표지판의 크기가 작은 경우에 시력조건별 차이를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과는 운전에 있어서 시력 교정의 중요성을 보여주었으며, 운전면허 기준시력을 넘는다고 해도 시력의 정도에 따라 판독거리, 그리고 판독시 안구운동의 효율성에서 차이를 보일 수 있다.

도로표지는 도로의 원활한 소통을 위해 운전자에게 안내를 위한 정보를 제공하는 시설물로써, 설치 및 관리기준은 도로법 제57조 및 국토해양부장관령인 도로표지규칙으로 정하고 있다. 하지만 도로표지규칙에서 정하는 사항에 대해 준수하지 않은 경우와 예외사항을 과다 적용하는 경우가 종종 발생하여 도로표지의 혼란정도를 야기하게 된다. 이를 포함하여, 도로명 안내표지, 출구중심 도로표지 등 다양한 도로표지는 운전자에게 이해하기 어려운 것일 수 있으며, 그에 따른 혼란정도가 높아질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 도로표지 중 도시지역의 방향표지를 대상으로 하여 혼란정도를 유발시킬 수 있는 도로표지의 요소를 제시하고, 정보표기 한정 개수를 산출하였으며, 혼란정도 인자를 그래프 이론을 통해 모형화하였다. 또한, 그에 따른 도로표지의 혼란정도를 예측하였다. 교차로별 혼란정도의 값과 3년간 교통사고 통계자료와의 비교를 통해 도로표지의 혼란정도가 교통에 미치는 영향에 대해 제시하였다.

This paper presents the implementation of an automatic road sign recognizer for an intelligent transport system. In this system, lists of road signs are processed with actions such as line segmentation, single sign segmentation, and storing an artificial sign in the database. The process of taking the video stream and extracting the road sign and storing in the database is called the road sign recognition. This paper presents a study on recognizing traffic sign patterns using a segmentation technique for the efficiency and the speed of the system. The image is converted from one scale to another scale such as RGB to grayscale or grayscale to binary. The images are pre-processed with several image processing techniques, such as threshold techniques, Gaussian filters, Canny edge detection, and the contour technique.

Road signs provide important safety information about road and traffic conditions to drivers. Road signs include not only common traffic signs but also warning information regarding unexpected obstacles and road constructions. Therefore, accurate detection and identification of road signs is one of the most important research topics related to safe driving. In this paper, we propose a 3-D vision technique to automatically detect and track road signs in a video sequence which is acquired from a stereo vision camera mounted on a vehicle. First, color information is used to initially detect the sign candidates. Second, the SVM (Support Vector Machine) is employed to determine true signs from the candidates. Once a road sign is detected in a video frame, it is continuously tracked from the next frame until it is disappeared. The 2-D position of a detected sign in the next frame is predicted by the 3-D motion of the vehicle. Here, the 3-D vehicle motion is acquired by using the 3-D pose information of the detected sign. Finally, the predicted 2-D position is corrected by template-matching of the scaled template of the detected sign within a window area around the predicted position. Experimental results show that the proposed method can detect and track many types of road signs successfully. Tracking comparisons with two different methods are shown.
