Abstract

This paper presents a cascaded system for recognition of the circular road-signs. The system consists of two compound detectors-classifiers. Each operates on the Gaussian scale-space and does template matching in the log-polar domain. The first module is responsible for detection of the potential sign areas at the coarsest level of the pyramid. The second one, in turn, refines the already found places at the finest level. Thanks to this composition, as well as to the efficient matching in the log-polar domain, the system is very robust in terms of recognition of the signs with different scales and rotations, as well as under partial occlusions, poor illumination conditions, and noise.
