Abstract: In this paper, we propose a sign classification system to recognize exit number and arrow signs in natural scene images. The purpose of the sign classification system is to provide assistance to a visually-handicapped person in subway stations. For automatically extracting sign candidate regions, we use Adaboost algorithm, however, our detector not only extracts sign regions, but also non-sign (noise) regions in natural scene images. Thus, we suggest a verification technique to discriminate sign regions from non-sign regions. In addition, we suggest a novel feature extraction algorithm cooperated with Hidden Markov Model. To evaluate the system, we tested a total of 20,177 sign candidate regions including the number of 8,414 non-sign regions on the captured images under several real environments in Daejeon in South Korea. We achieved an exit number and arrow sign recognition rate of each 99.5% and 99.8% and a false positive rate (FPR) of 0.3% to discriminate between sign regions and non-sign regions. (More)
