Abstract:This report describes the development of an automated computer vision system that identities and inventories road signs
from imagery acquired from the Kansas Department of Transportation’s road profiling system that takes images every 26.4
feet on highways throughout the state. Statistical models characterizing the typical size, color, and physical location of signs
are used to help identify signs from the imagery. First, two phases of a computationally efficient K-Means clustering
algorithm are applied to the images to achieve over-segmentation. The novel second phase ensures over-segmentation
without excessive computation. Extremely large and very small segments are rejected. The remaining segments are then
classified based on color. Finally, the frame to frame trajectories of sign colored segments are analyzed using triangulation
and Bundle adjustment to determine their physical location relative to the road profiler. Objects having the appropriate color,
and physical placement are entered into a sign database. To develop the statistical models used for classification, a
representative set of images was segmented and manually labeled determining the joint probabilistic models characterizing
the color and location typical to that of road signs. Receiver Operating Characteristic curves were generated and analyzed to
adjust the thresholds for the class identification. This system was tested and its performance characteristics are presented.
