ABSTRACT
 Traffic sign detection is important to a robotic

vehicle that automatically drives on roads.

 The detection method combines bottom-up traffic

sign saliency region with learning based top-down features of traffic sign guided search. The bottom-up stage could obtain saliency region of traffic sign and to achieve computational parsimony using improved Model of Saliency-Based Visual Attention. The topdown stage searches traffic sign in these traffic sign saliency regions based on the Decision Tree Classifier (DTC).

MODEL-2 (2008)

MODEL-3 (1998) 90 images of different signs

PROPOSED MODEL

1050 679 images with positive/negative different shapes samples with of traffic signs. more than 200 photos An average detection rate of 98.3% and low false positive rate of 5.09%. It is robust to illumination, scale, view-point change and partial occlusion. Accuracy is 94.52% and detection rate is in 60%-70%.

5)Accuracy of detection rate.

Low detection rate especially when there is an obstacle with same features as of target. It quickly detects salient traffic signs of varied shapes , color, and textures.

6)Advantages

Can detect road traffic signs with deformed road traffic sign boards by rotation and different scale.
