In this paper we present a pipeline for automatic detection of traffic signs in images. The proposed system can deal with high appearance variations, which typically occur in traffic sign recognition applications, especially with strong illumination changes and dramatic scale changes. Unlike most existing systems, our pipeline is based on interest regions extraction rather than a sliding window detection scheme. The proposed approach has been specialized and tested in three variants, each aimed at detecting one of the three categories of Mandatory, Prohibitory and Danger traffic signs. Our proposal has been evaluated experimentally within the German Traffic Sign Detection Benchmark competition.

Abstract
In this paper we present a pipeline for automatic detection of traffic signs in images. The proposed system can deal with high appearance variations, which typically occur in traffic sign recognition applications, especially with strong illumination changes and dramatic scale changes. Unlike most existing systems, our pipeline is based on interest regions extraction rather than a sliding window detection scheme. The proposed approach has been specialized and tested in three variants, each aimed at detecting one of the three categories of Mandatory, Prohibitory and Danger traffic signs. Our proposal has been evaluated experimentally within the German Traffic Sign Detection Benchmark competition.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
