• Abstract: Road signs detection and recognition in natural scenes is one of the most important tasksin the design of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). However, illumination changes remain a major problem. In this paper, an efficient ap-proach of road signs segmentation based on photometric invariants is proposed. This method is based on color in-formation using a hybrid distance, by exploiting the chro-matic distance and the red and blue ratio, on l Theta Phi color space which is invariant to highlight, shading and shadow changes. A comparative study is performed to demonstrate the robustness of this approach over the most frequently used methods for road sign segmentation. The experimental results and the detailed analysis show the high performance of the algorithm described in this paper.

  We propose a cross-domain few-shot in-context learning method based on the MLLM for enhancing traffic sign recognition. By using description texts, our method reduces the cross-domain differences between template and real traffic signs. Our approach requires only simple and uniform textual indications, without the need for large-scale traffic sign images and labels.

  Road lines and markings are frequently occluded in the presence of moving vehicles, shadow, and glare. We propose a Homography Guided Fusion (HomoFusion) module to exploit temporally-adjacent video frames for complementary cues. We show that exploiting available camera intrinsic data and ground plane assumption for cross-frame correspondence can lead to a light-weight network with significantly improved performances in speed and accuracy.

  Inverse path tracing is expensive to compute, and ambiguities exist between reflection and emission.

Our algorithm enables accurate material and lighting optimization faster than previous work, and is more effective at resolving ambiguities.

  Road network and trajectory representation learning are essential for traffic systems. Most existing methods only contrast within the same scale, i.e., treating road network and trajectory separately. We propose a unified framework that jointly learns the road network and trajectory representations end-to-end.

  MeanShift algorithm has been widely used in tracking tasks because of its simplicity and efficiency. Traditional MeanShift algorithm needs to label the initial region of the target, which reduces the applicability of the algorithm. We develop a tracking method that combines the background models and the graded features of color-names under the MeanShift framework.

  In existing approaches, the detection accuracy often degrades with the increasing distance. This is due to the fact that distant lane and road markings occupy a small number of pixels in the image. Inverse Perspective Mapping can be used to eliminate the perspective distortion, but the inherent can lead to artifacts.
