TY - JOUR AU - Sergio Escalera AU - Oriol Pujol AU - Petia Radeva PY - 2010// TI - Traffic sign recognition system with β -correction T2 - MVA JO - Machine Vision and Applications SP - 99–111 VL - 21 IS - 2 PB - Springer-Verlag N2 - Traffic sign classification represents a classical application of multi-object recognition processing in uncontrolled adverse environments. Lack of visibility, illumination changes, and partial occlusions are just a few problems. In this paper, we introduce a novel system for multi-class classification of traffic signs based on error correcting output codes (ECOC). ECOC is based on an ensemble of binary classifiers that are trained on bi-partition of classes. We classify a wide set of traffic signs types using robust error correcting codings. Moreover, we introduce the novel β-correction decoding strategy that outperforms the state-of-the-art decoding techniques, classifying a high number of classes with great success.
