본 논문에서는 4S-Van에 의하여 수집된 동영상으로부터 공간정보, 특히 도로 표지판을 구축하고 갱신할 수 있는 변화탐지 기술에 대하여 소개한다. 4S-Van은 차량의 위치/자세정보와 영상을 동기화하여 취득하고 이로부터 공간객체의 위치정보를 구축하는 시스템이다. 4S-Van에서 취득한 영상으로부터 표지판을 구축하고 갱신하는 작업은 수동 입력에 의한 많은 시간을 필요로 하며, 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 영상으로부터 표지판 정보를 구축 및 갱신할 때 수동 입력을 최소화하기 위한 방법을 제안하고 시스템을 구축한 결과를 제시한다. 4S-Van 데이터로부터 객체의 위치를 결정하는 사진측량기술과 영상처리기술을 결합하여 공간객체를 인식할 수 있는 기술을 제안하였으며, 새로 취득된 동영상에서 객체의 변화를 탐지함으로써 해당객체의 정보만을 새로 구축할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 시스템은 표지판 정보의 효율적 구축과 갱신을 지원할 수 있다.

기존 자율주행자동차의 영상 센서 시스템이 표지판에 약간의 부착물만 붙어도 인식이 되지 않는 점을 고려해 Semi-Passive RFID(Radio-Frequency Identification)기술을 이용한다. 각 표지판마다 소스코드를 설정한 후 RFID 태그를 부착하고 자동차의 룸미러 뒤쪽 중앙에 RFID 리더기를 부착해 원거리에서 태그와 리더기의 작용을 통해 영상 센서 시스템의 취약점을 보완해 오류를 줄인다. 태그의 건전지를 대체하여 M24LR16E칩을 적용한다. 이 칩은 기존에 낭비되는 전파와 폐열, 움직임에 따라 발생하는 동작 에너지의 미세한 에너지를 모아 메모리칩을 구동한다. 또한 GPS를 이용한 위치정보 획득 및 지리적 변화의 낮은 정확도를 보완해 도시 인프라에 부착된 RFID를 제안하여 이를 이용한 위치정보 획득과 처리방안의 문제점도 해결한다.

Information technology improves convenience, safety, and performance of automobiles. Recently, a lot of algorithms are studied to provide safety and environment information for driving, and traffic sign recognition is one of them. It can provide important information for safety driving. In this paper, we propose a method for traffic sign detection and identification concentrating on reducing the computation time. First, potential traffic signs are segmented by color threshold, and a polygon approximation algorithm is used to detect appropriate polygons. The potential signs are compared with the template signs in the database using SURF and ORB feature matching method.

Recently, the IoT (Internet of Things) environment is being developed rapidly through network which is linked to intellectual objects. Through the IoT, it is possible for human to intercommunicate with objects and objects to objects. Also, the IoT provides artificial intelligent service mixed with knowledge of situational awareness. One of the industries based on the IoT is a car industry. Nowadays, a self-driving vehicle which is not only fuel-efficient, smooth for traffic, but also puts top priority on eventual safety for humans became the most important conversation topic. Since several years ago, a research on the recognition of the surrounding environment for self-driving vehicles using sensors, lidar, camera, and radar techniques has been progressed actively. Currently, based on the WAVE (Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment), the research is being boosted by forming networking between vehicles, vehicle and infrastructures. In this paper, a research on the recognition of a traffic signs on highway was processed as a part of the awareness of the surrounding environment for self-driving vehicles. Through the traffic signs which have features of fixed standard and installation location, we provided a learning theory and a corresponding results of experiment about the way that a vehicle is aware of traffic signs and additional informations on it.

본 연구에서는 Renesas RA6M3 Embedded board와 RTOS를 기반으로 하는 교통 표지판 인식 시스템을 구현한다. 초음파 센서 3개를 활용해 상단부, 중심부, 하단부에서 도형을 감지하고, 모터를 제어하여 각각의 초음파 센서로 거리를 판단해 표지판 도형을 인식하게 한다. 이 시스템은 카메라 및 LiDAR와 같은 값비싼 장비보다 상대적으로 저렴한 초음파 센서를 사용하여 차량용 전장 시스템의 원가를 낮추는 데 기여한다. 실제 자동차에서 해당 기술을 쓰기 위해서는 추가적인 보완이 요구될 수 있으나, 본 연구는 새로운 아이디어의 발상 및 하드웨어의 구체적인 구현 방안을 제시함으로써 차후 연구의 방향성을 제시하고자 한다.

This paper presents an active vision system for on-line traffic sign recognition. The system is composed of two cameras, one is equipped with a wide-angle lens and the other with a telephoto lends, and a PC with an image processing board. The system first detects candidates for traffic signs in the wide-angle image using color, intensity, and shape information. For each candidate, the telephoto-camera is directed to its predicted position to capture the candidate in a large size in the image. The recognition algorithm is designed by intensively using built in functions of an off-the-shelf image processing board to realize both easy implementation and fast recognition. The results of on-road experiments show the feasibility of the system.

Traffic Sign Recognition(TSR) is an important element in an Advanced Driver Assistance System(ADAS). However, many studies related to TSR approaches only in normal daytime environment because a sign's unique color doesn't appear in poor environment such as night time, snow, rain or fog. In this paper, we propose a new TSR algorithm based on machine learning for daytime as well as poor environment. In poor environment, traditional methods which use RGB color region doesn't show good performance. So we extracted sign characteristics using HoG extraction, and detected signs using a Support Vector Machine(SVM). The detected sign is recognized by a decision tree based on 25 reference points in a Normalized RGB system. The detection rate of the proposed system is 96.4% and the recognition rate is 94% when applied in poor environment. The testing was performed on an Intel i5 processor at 3.4 GHz using Full HD resolution images. As a result, the proposed algorithm shows that machine learning based detection and recognition methods can efficiently be used for TSR algorithm even in poor driving environment.

현재 2D기반 내비게이션에서는 다양한 형태로 차량에 부착한 단말기나 핸드폰을 통하여 차량 주행 안내서비스를 제공하고 있으나, 이러한 주행 안내 서비스는 대부분 2차원 평면상에서 정보만을 지원해 줄 뿐 사람의 인식과 일치하는 실감형 정보를 제공하지 못하는 한계가 있다. 또한 차량이 도로를 주행하는 과정에서 다양한 돌발 상황이 발생할 수 있는데 이에 대한 정보의 제공이나, 또는 주행안내에 필수적인 직진, 회전 등 방향 정보와 차선 변경, 교통 표지판 정보 등 필요정보를 운전자에게 가장 효율적으로 제공할 수 있는 실감형 정보 제공의 필요성이 커지고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 안내 서브시스템, 차선 인식 서브시스템, 신호등/표지판 인식 서브시스템으로부터 정보를 취득하여, 취득된 정보를 표현 서브시스템이 안내 정보를 표현할 수 있도록 정보를 제공하는 주행상태 판단 모듈의 기능을 구현 한다.

This study proposes a method to quickly and accurately acquire distance information on direction signs. The proposed method is composed of the recognition of the sign, pre-processing to facilitate the acquisition of the road sign distance, and the acquisition of the distance data. The road sign recognition uses color detection including gamma correction in order to mitigate various noise issues. In order to facilitate the acquisition of distance data, this study applied tilt correction using linear factors, and resolution correction using Fourier transform. To acquire the distance data, morphological operation was used to highlight the area, along with labeling and template matching. By acquiring the distance information on the direction sign through such a processes, the proposed system can be output the distance remaining to the next junction. As a result, when the proposed method is applied to system it can process the data in real-time using the fast calculation speed, average speed was shown to be 0.46 second per frame, with accuracy of 0.65 in similarity value.
