최근 도시지역의 확산과 교통망의 발달로 도로안내표지의 효율적 정보제공이 요구되고 있으며, 안내체계의 효율성을 증대시킬 수 있는 안내지명의 선정원칙과 안내체계가 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수원시의 도로표지 안내정보의 실태를 파악하여 적절한 정보들을 제공되고 있는지 또한 제공된 정보들은 체계적인 연속성을 가지고 있는지 파악하고자 하였다. 즉, 도로이용자가 찾고자하는 한 지점을 중심으로 도로표지판의 안내정보의 적절성과 연계성 및 출현빈도에 관한 조사를 실시하였다. 수원시청을 최종목적지로 하여 주변도시 접경부 의왕시, 안산시, 화성시, 오산시, 용인시 등지 에서 수원시청까지 5개의 간선도로에 설치된 도로표지판 중 방향예고표지와 방향표지, 시설안내표지등을 분석하였다. 결과, 도로표지규정의 안내 지명선정 원칙에 의한 랜드마크나 1등급으로 분류되는 지명들은 상대적으로 찾기가 다소 용이하나, 그 외의 이용자가 원하는 지명을 알아내는데 상당히 어려움이 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 이는 안내지명만으로 현 위치를 파악하기가 어렵고 제시된 안내지명이 직진방향에서 만날 수 있는 지명뿐 아니라 좌회전 혹은 우회전을 해야만 만날 수 있는 지명일 경우 방향을 알 수가 없어 비효율적인 정보가 제공되고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 게다가 선정된 안내지명마저도 출현빈도의 적정성에 문제가 있고, 표지간의 연계가 이루어지고 있지 않아 도로이용자에게 많은 불편함을 주고 있는 것으로 나타났는데, 이러한 이용 상의 불편을 방지하기 위해서 도로표지의 체계적인 개선이 필요하다.

This paper describes a recognition method of a road direction for an autonomous vehicle based on magnetic sensors. Using the sensors mounted on a vehicle and the magnetic markers embedded along the center of road, the autonomous vehicle can recognize a road direction and control a steering angle. Using the front lateral deviation of a vehicle and the rear one, the road direction is calculated. The analysis of magnetic field, the acquisition technique of training data, the training method of neural network and the computer simulation are presented. According to the computer simulation, the proposed method is simulated, and its performance is verified. Also, the experimental test is confirmed its reliability.

In this paper, a method of the decision of the road direction for ALV(Autonomous Land Vehicle) road following by region-based segmentation is presented. The decision of the road direction requires extracting road regions from images in real-time to guide the navigation of ALV on the roadway. Two thresholds to discriminate between road and non-road region in the image are easily decided, using knowledge of problem region and polygonal approximation that searches multiple peaks and valleys in histogram of a road image. The most likely road region of the binary image is selected from original image by these steps. The location of a vanishing point to indicate the direction of the road can be obtained applying it to X-Y profile of the binary road region again. It can successfully steer a ALV along a road reliably, even in the presence of fluctuation of illumination condition, bad road surface condition such as hidden boundaries, shadows, road patches, dirt and water stains, and unusual road condition. Pyramid structure also saves time in processing road images and a real-time image processing for achieving navigation of ALV is implemented. The efficacy of this approach is demonstrated using several real-world road images.

In this paper, an algorithm is presented to recogniz the driving direction of a vehicle and obstacles in front of it based on highway road image. The algorithm employs a neural network with 27 sub sets obtained from the road image as its input. The outputs include the direction of the vehicle movement and presence or absence of obstacles. The road image, obtained by a video camera, was digitized and processed by a personal computer equipped with an image processing board.

This study was attempted to review the information data for minimizing the destruction of environmental naturalness and the visual damage of landscape from road construction by establishing a model of environmental naturalness for national roads in the suburb areas to suggest an answer to a research question, ' hat does decide the environmental naturalness of roadscape?'. We found that 1) The road-side slope showed no statistical significance in the description of environmental naturalness of roadscape, but the fact that the road-side slope from road construction is the destruction of natural topography cannot be overlooked. 2) In terms of the direction of value variations for independent variables, signboard and telegraph post, soundproofing and protection wall, structure, and building acted toward negative (-) direction, while mountains, sky, road trees, fields, and surrounding green including the road-side slope acted toward positive(+) direction. 3) The variable with highest relative contribution to dependent variables among independent variables is building, which has importance as many as 148 times of road-side slope, while the variable road-side slope has the least importance. Building has the importance of 7.22 times, mountains 5.51 times, road trees 2.59 times, surrounding green 2.54 times, structure 2.41 times, signboard and telegraph post 2.37 times, soundproofing and protection wall 2.20 times, and sky 1.32 times of the fields as a standard criterion values 1.

This paper proposes an efficient method to detect direction indicators on road surfaces to support drivers in driving safely using the Simulink model. In the proposed method, the ROIs are detected using the detection method of maximally stable extremal regions (MSER), and the road indicator regions are detected using the speeded up robust features (SURF) matching method for the corresponding point matching of the detected ROIs and the road indicator templates. Experiments on various road satiations show that the processing time of about 0.32 sec per frame was required, and a detection rate of 91% was achieved.

도로표지는 운전자들에게 유용한 정보들을 제공함으로서 안전하고 원활한 교통을 확보하기 위한 중요한 시설물이다. 도로표지를 체계적으로 관리하기 위해서는 도로표지 내용에 대한 DB구축이 필요하며 이를 위한 작업은 거의 수동으로 진행되고 있어 많은 시간과 비용이 소요된다. 본 연구에서는 도로표지 영상에서 방향정보를 자동으로 인식 추출하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 OpenCV를 이용해 이를 구현하였으며 도로표지 영상에 적용하였다. 방향정보의 자동추출을 위해, 영상 개선, 영상 이진화, 방향지시 도형 영역 추출, 특징점 추출, 템플릿 영상정합 등의 영상처리 기법을 코딩하여 적용하였으며 이를 통해 방향정보 자동 인식의 가능성을 확인하였다.

With the advances of the big-data process technology, acquiring the real-time information from the massive image data taken by a mobile device inside a vehicle will be possible in the near future. Among the information that can be found around the vehicle, the route information is needed for safe driving. In this study, the automatic extraction of route information from the road sign imagery was dealt with. The scope of the route information in this study included the route number, route type, and their relationship with the driving direction. For the recognition of the route number, the modified Tesseract OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engine was used after extracting the rectangular-road-sign area with the Freeman chain code tracing algorithm. The route types (expressway, highway, rural highway, and municipal road) are recognized using the proposed algorithms, which are acquired from colour space analysis. Those road signs provide information about the route number as well as the roads that may be encountered along the way. In this study, such information was called “OTW (on the way)” or “TTW (to the way)” which between the two should be indicated is determined using direction information. Finally, the route number is matched with the direction information. Experiments are carried out with the road sign imagery taken inside a car. As a result, route numbers, route number type, OTW or TTW are successfully recognized, however some errors occurred in the process of matching TTW number with the direction.

Objective : Today, a study about the meridian is at a standstill because there is no any fundamental study to verify an essence of meridian or to take advantage of meridain. It searched the direction of new meridain study by making out road-map about meridain study to overcome the standstill. Method : It has had a through grasp of the problem of meridian study through analysis of papers for degrees and academy journals of study in connection with meridian published till now. It has made out road-map of Meridian study under a principle establishing road-map because of these problems. Results : The major problems of former studies about meridain are as follows. One is not to have any cooperation with other medical fields. The other is not to have any practical study. It searched the direction of new meridian study by road-map detailed as well as overall to overcome the difficulties. Conclusions : The new direction of meridian study is to build ideal methodical frame and modern meridian model through studying of among school systems. It will interpret newly and modernize traditional meridian theory with being connected with science technology.
