B1-1 Traffic Sign Detection from Self-Wearable Camera Images

Abstract

In recent years, the walk support equipment for visually impaired persons has spread, and a studded paving block and a sound-type signal are installed on the sidewalk. However, there are still problems that the places of installation are few with the former, and the provided information becomes obscure with the latter in the noisy environment such as heavy traffic or heavy rain. In order to solve these difficulties, this paper proposes a method of detecting pedestrian signals and traffic signs at a pedestrian crossing from a self-wearable camera. Experimental results are shown and the method is evaluated.
