Image processing for automatic road inventory

Abstract

Road image analysis is an important task for automatic road inventory. The determination geometric dimensions for the road and the identification road objects are subprocess of constructing a road digital image. In this article, two algorithms for solving different subtasks of automatic road image inventory are proposed. The first algorithm identifies road signs. A convolutional artificial neural network is used in this algorithm. The training set for the neural network is prepared. A computer experiment to determine the recognition effectiveness of road signs has been conducted. The second algorithm defines the edges of the pavement. The algorithm consists five stages. The edges of the road are modeled as straight lines. The result allows you to automatically determine the width of the road.
