Abstract:
Automatic detection of text on road signs can help
drivers keep aware of the traffic situation and surrounding
environments by reminding them of the signs
ahead. Current systems can only detect constrained
road signs or produce unsatisfying performance when
dealing with complex scenes in practical use. This paper
firstly reviews the existing techniques used for text
detection from natural scene. A novel system which
detects text on road signs from natural scene video is
then proposed. Our detailed approaches and methodology
give a promising solution to this problem in order
to reduce the running time and improve the recognition
rate.
