Traffic sign detecting method and traffic sign detecting device
First Claim
1. A method of detecting one or more traffic signs in an input image captured by a camera, comprising:
- a color space converting step of converting the input image into a HSV color space image;
a filtering step including,filtering, based on a predetermined pass range of a standard color of each of the traffic signs, the HSV color space image so as to obtain a filtered image,generating one or more connected domains, the connected domains being regions of the filtered image that correspond to the standard color, andadding the connected domains onto the input image;
a removing step of removing, based on a standard rule of the corresponding traffic signs, one or more of the generated connected domains, not being the corresponding traffic sign; and
a recognition step of recognizing, based on a feature of each of candidate traffic sign domains, the corresponding traffic sign,the candidate traffic sign domains being the domains, from among the connected domains, that are not removed in the removing step.

Abstract
Disclosed are a method and a device for detecting traffic signs in an input image camera. The method comprises a color space converting step of converting the input image into a HSV color space image; a filtering step of filtering, based on a predetermined pass range of a standard color of each of the traffic signs, the HSV color space image to obtain a filtered image, and then generating one or more connected domains based on one or more regions in the filtered image; a removing step of removing, based on a standard rule of the corresponding traffic sign, at least one of the generated connected domains, not being the corresponding traffic sign, and letting others of the generated connected domains be candidate traffic sign domains; and a recognition step of recognizing, based on a feature of each of the candidate traffic sign domains, the corresponding traffic sign.

10. A device for detecting one or more traffic signs in an input image captured by a camera, comprising:
-
a processor, and a storage device, the storage device storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including, converting the input image into a HSV color space image; filtering, based on a predetermined pass range of a standard color of each of the traffic signs, the HSV color space image so as to obtain a filtered image, generating one or more connected domains, the connected domains being regions of the filtered image that correspond to the standard color, and adding the connected domains onto the input image; removing, based on a standard rule of the corresponding traffic sign, one or more of the generated connected domains, not being the corresponding traffic sign; and recognizing, based on a feature of each of the candidate traffic sign domains, the corresponding traffic sign.
