摘要:  针对环境复杂的车标区域难以定位的问题,提出了一种基于视觉注意机制(Visual Attention Theory,VAT)与支持向量机(Support Vector Machine,SVM)结合的车标定位算法. 首先采用多信息融合特征对车牌进行综合定位,利用车标和车牌的相对位置关系确定车标感兴趣区域(Area of Interest,ROI),对该区域进行边缘检测处理,并对边缘所在位置进行显著性分析,利用支持向量机方法训练车标显著性模型选择分类器,然后利用模型选择分类器选取最优模型进行显著性区域提取,最后对显著性区域设计了一套离散车标前景合并机制进行最终的车标区域定位. 实验表明:该方法能够有效地进行车标区域定位,与其他车标定位方法相比,具有检测率高、鲁棒性好、时效性快等特点,能够较好地定位不同天气不同场景的车标,具有较好的实用价值.

Abstract:  Aiming at the difficulty in locating the vehicle logo under complex environment,this paper proposes a novel vehicle-logo location method which combined Visual Attention Theory(VAT)with Support Vector Machine(SVM) which can be able to cope with complex environment effectively. Firstly,characteristics of multi information fusion(CMIF)are used to locate the license plate region(LPR)of vehicle,and then the relationship between vehicle-logo region and license plate region is used to determine the vehicle-logo Area of Interest(ROI). Secondly,edge detection(ED)and mathematical morphology(MM)are carried out on the vehicle-logo area. Thirdly,significant analysis(SA)is carried out on the vehicle logo area of interest. We compared some classical saliency models,such as the Spectral Residual(SR)model,the Frequency-Tuned(FT)model and the Histogram Contrast(HC)model,and find that different models can be applied to pictures of different scenes. After that,we choose the SVM as the training tool to train the optimal model for different vehicle logo pictures. At last,the Otsu method is used to segment the saliency map. A merger method is designed for the discrete foreground after segment,and then gets the final vehicle logo region. The experiments in this paper are verified from three aspects of validity,accuracy and timeliness,and all test images are come from different actual traffic junctions in Wuhan. The experimental results showed that the method proposed in this paper can be effectively to locate vehicle logo,and our method has higher detection rate,better robustness and less time compared with other vehicle logo positioning methods. It can also locate vehicle logo better in different weather scenario,and can better realize the goal of rapid vehicle logo targets location in the intelligent transportation system(ITS)with brilliant prospects in applications.
