Automated Traffic sign board classification system is one of the key technologies of Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS). Traffic Surveillance System is being more and important with improving
urban scale and increasing number of vehicles. This Paper presents an intelligent sign board
classification method based on blob analysis in traffic surveillance. Processing is done by three main
steps: moving object segmentation, blob analysis, and classifying. A Sign board is modelled as a
rectangular patch and classified via blob analysis. By processing the blob of sign boards, the meaningful
features are extracted. Tracking moving targets is achieved by comparing the extracted features with
training data. After classifying the sign boards the system will intimate to user in the form of alarms,
sound waves. The experimental results show that the proposed system can provide real-time and useful
information for traffic surveillance.
IRJET- A Review Analysis to Detect an Object in Video Surveillance SystemIRJET Journal
This document reviews techniques for detecting objects in video surveillance systems. It discusses common object detection methods like frame differencing, optical flow, and background subtraction. Frame differencing detects motion by calculating pixel differences between frames but cannot detect still objects. Optical flow estimates pixel motion between frames to detect objects.

Moving Object Detection for Video SurveillanceIJMER
Video surveillance has long been in use to monitor security sensitive areas such as banks, department stores, highways, crowded public places and borders. The advance in computing power, availability of large-capacity storage devices and high speed network infrastructure paved the way for cheaper, multi sensor video surveillance systems. Traditionally, the video outputs are processed online by human operators and are usually saved to tapes for later use only after a forensic event. The increase in the number of cameras in ordinary surveillance systems overloaded both the human operators and the storage devices with high volumes of data and made it infeasible to ensure proper monitoring of sensitive areas for long times. In order to filter out redundant information generated by an array of cameras, and increase the response time to forensic events, assisting the human operators with identification of important events in video by the use of “smart” video surveillance systems has become a critical requirement. The making of video surveillance systems “smart” requires fast, reliable and robust algorithms for moving object detection, classification, tracking and activity analysis.
A Novel Approach for Tracking with Implicit Video Shot DetectionIOSR Journals
1) The document presents a novel approach that combines video shot detection and object tracking using a particle filter to create an efficient tracking algorithm with implicit shot detection.
2) It uses a robust pixel difference method for shot detection that is resistant to sudden illumination changes. It then applies a particle filter for tracking that uses color histograms and Bhattacharyya distance to track objects across frames.
3) The key innovation is that the tracking algorithm is only initiated after a shot change is detected, reducing computational costs by discarding unneeded frames and triggering tracking only when needed. This provides a more efficient solution for tracking large video datasets with minimal preprocessing.

SENSITIVITY OF A VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM BASED ON MOTION DETECTIONsipij
The implementation of a stand-alone system developed in JAVA language for motion detection has been discussed. The open-source OpenCV library has been adopted for video surveillance image processing thus implementing Background Subtraction algorithm also known as foreground detection algorithm. Generally the region of interest of a body or object to detect is related to a precise objects (people, cars, etc.) emphasized on a background. This technique is widely used for tracking a moving objects. In particular, the BackgroundSubtractorMOG2 algorithm of OpenCV has been applied. This algorithm is based on Gaussian distributions and offers better adaptability to different scenes due to changes in lighting and the detection of shadows as well. The implemented webcam system relies on saving frames and creating GIF and JPGs files with previously saved frames. In particular the Background Subtraction function, find Contours, has been adopted to detect the contours. The numerical quantity of these contours has been compared with the tracking points of sensitivity obtained by setting an user-modifiable slider able to save the frames as GIFs composed by different merged JPEGs. After a full design of the image processing prototype different motion test have been performed. The results showed the importance to consider few sensitivity points in order to obtain more frequent image storages also concerning minor movements.Sensitivity points can be modified through a slider function and are inversely proportional to the number of saved images. For small object in motion will be detected a low percentage of sensitivity points.Experimental results proves that the setting condition are mainly function of the typology of moving object rather than the light conditions. The proposed prototype system is suitable for video surveillance smart

This document describes a proposed computer vision-based image processing system for detecting redundant objects using a Raspberry Pi. The system would utilize a Raspberry Pi connected to a USB camera to capture video frames and detect motion using OpenCV image processing libraries. When motion is detected, the system would segment the moving object from the background using thresholding techniques and morphological operations. It would then highlight and track the detected object using contour functions. Detected objects would be sent to a monitoring interface along with an alert to allow remote monitoring and response. The system aims to provide low-cost real-time surveillance and intruder detection capabilities.
This document summarizes a research paper on tracking moving objects and determining their distance and velocity using background subtraction algorithms. It first describes background subtraction as a process to extract foreground objects from video by comparing each frame to a background model. It then discusses several algorithms used in the research, including median filtering for noise removal, morphological operations to smooth object regions, and connected component analysis to detect large foreground regions representing objects. The document evaluates these techniques on video to track a single object, determine the distance and velocity of that object between frames, and identify multiple moving objects.

Background subtraction is a technique used to separate foreground objects from backgrounds in video frames. It works by comparing each frame to a background model and detecting differences which indicate moving foreground objects. Recursive techniques like mixtures of Gaussians model the background pixel values over time using multiple Gaussian distributions, allowing the background model to adapt to changing lighting conditions. Adaptive background/foreground detection uses a background model that evolves over time to distinguish foreground objects from the background in a robust way.
Tracking is the problem of estimating the trajectory of an object as it moves around a scene. Motion tracking involves collecting data on human movement using sensors to control outputs like music or lighting based on performer actions. Motion tracking differs from motion capture in that it requires less equipment, is less expensive, and is concerned with qualities of motion rather than highly accurate data collection. Optical flow estimates the pixel-wise motion between frames in a video by calculating velocity vectors for each pixel.

DECOLOR simultaneously performs object detection and background estimation using only the test video sequence, without requiring training data. The method models the outlier support explicitly and favors spatially contiguous outliers, making it suitable for detecting clustered foreground objects like people. It achieves more accurate detection and background estimation than state-of-the-art robust principal component analysis methods.

HUMAN MOTION DETECTION AND TRACKING FOR VIDEO SURVEILLANCEAswinraj Manickam
An approach to detect and track groups of people in video-surveillance applications, and to automatically recognize their behavior.
This method keeps track of individuals moving together by maintaining a spacial and temporal group coherence.
First, people are individually detected and tracked. Second, their trajectories are analyzed over a temporal window and clustered using the Mean-Shift algorithm.
A coherence value describes how well a set of people can be described as a group. Furthermore, we propose a formal event description language.
The group events recognition approach is successfully validated on 4 camera views from 3 data sets: an airport, a subway, a shopping center corridor and an entrance hall.

Many researchers are getting attracted in the field of computer vision, specifically the field of object tracking in video surveillance.

The tracking step is divided into two different methods, the surface method and the K-NN method, both are explained in the paper.Our proposed method is implemented and evaluated using CAVIAR database.

A ROBUST BACKGROUND REMOVAL ALGORTIHMS USING FUZZY C-MEANS CLUSTERINGIJNSA Journal
Background subtraction is typically one of the first steps carried out in motion detection using static video cameras. This paper presents a novel method for background removal that processes only some pixels of each image. Some regions of interest of the objects in the image or frame are located with the help of edge detector. Once the region is detected only that area will be segmented instead of processing the whole image. This method achieves a significant reduction in computation time that can be used for subsequent image analysis. In this paper we detect the foreground object with the help of edge detector and combine the Fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm to segment the object by means of subtracting the current frame from the previous frame, the accurate background is identified.
We presents a technique for moving objects extraction. There are several different approaches for moving object extraction, clustering is one of object extraction method with a stronger teorical foundation used in many applications. And need high performance in many extraction process of moving object. We compare K-Means and Self-Organizing Map method for extraction moving objects, for performance measurement of moving object extraction by applying MSE and PSNR. According to experimental result that the MSE value of K-Means is smaller than Self-Organizing Map. It is also that PSNR of K-Means is higher than Self-Organizing Map algorithm. The result proves that K-Means is a promising method to cluster pixels in moving objects extraction.

In this paper we detect the foreground object with the help of edge detector and combine the Fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm to segment the object by means of subtracting the current frame from the previous frame, the accurate background is identified.
We presents a technique for moving objects extraction. There are several different approaches for moving object extraction, clustering is one of object extraction method with a stronger teorical foundation used in many applications. And need high performance in many extraction process of moving object. We compare K-Means and Self-Organizing Map method for extraction moving objects, for performance measurement of moving object extraction by applying MSE and PSNR. According to experimental result that the MSE value of K-Means is smaller than Self-Organizing Map. It is also that PSNR of K-Means is higher than Self-Organizing Map algorithm. The result proves that K-Means is a promising method to cluster pixels in moving objects extraction.
PARALLEL GENERATION OF IMAGE LAYERS CONSTRUCTED BY EDGE DETECTION USING MESSA...ijcsit
Edge detection is one of the most fundamental algorithms in digital image processing. Many algorithms have been implemented to construct image layers extracted from the original image based on selecting threshold parameters. Changing theses parameters to get a high quality layer is time consuming. In this paper, we propose two parallel technique, NASHT1 and NASHT2, to generate multiple layers of an input
image automatically to enable the image tester to select the highest quality detected edges. In addition, the
effect of intensive I/O operations and the number of parallel running processes on the performance of the proposed techniques have also been studied.

It proposes a technique called PolaritySpam that detects web spam by propagating a-priori spam and not-spam scores for web pages using a PageRank-based algorithm. This allows it to incorporate content-based heuristics to select the initial set of spam and not-spam pages. The method is evaluated on a large web spam dataset and is shown to outperform the baseline TrustRank approach by better demoting spam pages.

IRJET- Behavior Analysis from Videos using Motion based Feature ExtractionIRJET Journal
This document proposes a technique for analyzing human behavior in videos using motion-based feature extraction. It discusses how previous approaches have used spatial and temporal features to detect abnormal behaviors. The proposed approach extracts motion features from videos to represent each video with a single feature vector, rather than extracting features from each individual frame. This reduces the feature space and unnecessary information. The technique involves preprocessing videos into frames, extracting motion features, using KNN classification on the features to classify behaviors as normal or abnormal, and evaluating the method's performance on various metrics like accuracy, recall, and precision. Testing on fight and riot datasets showed the motion-based approach achieved higher accuracy, recall, precision and F-measure than a non-motion based approach.
The document summarizes an algorithm for object detection and tracking in moving backgrounds under different environmental conditions. The algorithm uses a discriminative learning approach to develop a more robust way of updating an adaptive appearance model. It aims to handle partial occlusions without significant drift and work well with minimal parameter tuning. The algorithm divides each frame into blocks and extracts features using a random Gaussian matrix method. A Gaussian classifier is used to get the tracking location with the highest response. The classifier is incrementally learned and updated using positive and negative samples to predict the object location in the next frame. The proposed algorithm is shown to outperform existing L1-tracker algorithms in terms of accuracy, computational efficiency, and robustness to appearance changes.
A Novel Background Subtraction Algorithm for Person Tracking Based on K-NN cscpconf
Object tracking can be defined as the process of detecting an object of interest from a video
scene and keeping track of its motion, orientation, occlusion etc. in order to extract useful
information. It is indeed a challenging problem and it’s an important task. Many researchers
are getting attracted in the field of computer vision, specifically the field of object tracking in
video surveillance. The main purpose of this paper is to give to the reader information of the
present state of the art object tracking, together with presenting steps involved in Background
Subtraction and their techniques. In related literature we found three main methods of object
tracking: the first method is the optical flow; the second is related to the background
subtraction, which is divided into two types presented in this paper, and the last one is temporal
differencing. We present a novel approach to background subtraction that compare a current
frame with the background model that we have set before, so we can classified each pixel of the
image as a foreground or a background element, then comes the tracking step to present our
object of interest, which is a person, by his centroid. The tracking step is divided into two
different methods, the surface method and the K-NN method, both are explained in the paper.

Real Time Object Identification for Intelligent Video Surveillance ApplicationsEditor IJCATR
Intelligent video surveillance system has emerged as a very important research topic in the computer vision field in the
recent years. It is well suited for a broad range of applications such as to monitor activities at traffic intersections for detecting
congestions and predict the traffic flow. Object classification in the field of video surveillance is a key component of smart
surveillance software. Two robust methodology and algorithms adopted for people and object classification for automated surveillance
systems is proposed in this paper. First method uses background subtraction model for detecting the object motion. The background
subtraction and image segmentation based on morphological transformation for tracking and object classification on highways is
proposed. This algorithm uses erosion followed by dilation on various frames. Proposed algorithm in first method, segments the image
by preserving important edges which improves the adaptive background mixture model and makes the system learn faster and more
accurately. The system used in second method adopts the object detection method without background subtraction because of the static
object detection. Segmentation is done by the bounding box registration technique. Then the classification is done with the multiclass
SVM using the edge histogram as features. The edge histograms are calculated for various bin values in different environment. The
result obtained demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The method uses the German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark (GTSRB) dataset to train and test a CNN model for classifying images into 43 sign categories. The images are preprocessed by resizing to 30x30 pixels and splitting the training set into train and validation portions. The CNN is implemented in TensorFlow and achieves over 95% accuracy on both the training and test sets. The document concludes the proposed method provides an accurate and robust approach for automatic road sign detection and recognition.
1. The document discusses a visual surveillance system that uses two approaches for detecting moving objects in video streams: a self-organizing background subtraction method (SOBS) and a traditional background subtraction method.
2. SOBS uses an artificial neural network model that learns pixel trajectories over time to automatically generate a background model, allowing it to adapt to scene changes like moving backgrounds or lighting variations.
3. The traditional background subtraction method detects moving regions by calculating the difference between the current frame and a reference background image and updating the background model in real-time using a threshold and filtering techniques.
Surveillance using the video is a bit sophisticated task, yet making use of
technology things can be done perfect. Security has been so difficult in the past that it was
overlooked or avoided by security installers unless absolutely necessary. The present focus
of computer vision Technology aimed at automating the analysis of Closed Circuit Tele
Vision (CCTV) footages. This includes automatic identification of objects in a raw video,
following those objects over time and between cameras, and the interpretation of those
object’s appearance and movements. Here achieving video analytics by implementing its
segments, through Open CV with an e.g., Extracting the edges of a live video through web
cam and finding the motion detection in Live video. In this paper we even discuss about the
feature of 3-D sensors in video surveillance.

Foreground algorithms for detection and extraction of an object in multimedia...IJECEIAES
Background Subtraction of a foreground object in multimedia is one of the major preprocessing steps involved in many vision-based applications. The main logic for detecting moving objects from the video is difference of the current frame and a reference frame which is called “background image” and this method is known as frame differencing method. Background Subtraction is widely used for real-time motion gesture recognition to be used in gesture enabled items like vehicles or automated gadgets. It is also used in content-based video coding, traffic monitoring, object tracking, digital forensics and human-computer interaction. Now-a-days due to advent in technology it is noticed that most of the conferences, meetings and interviews are done on video calls. It’s quite obvious that a conference room like atmosphere is not always readily available at any point of time. To eradicate this issue, an efficient algorithm for foreground extraction in a multimedia on video calls is very much needed. This paper is not to just build Background Subtraction application for Mobile Platform but to optimize the existing OpenCV algorithm to work on limited resources on mobile platform without reducing the performance. In this paper, comparison of various foreground detection, extraction and feature detection algorithms are done on mobile platform using OpenCV. The set of experiments were conducted to appraise the efficiency of each algorithm over the other. The overall performances of these algorithms were compared on the basis of execution time, resolution and resources required.

ABSTRACT
Automated Traffic sign board classification system is one of the key technologies of Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS). Traffic Surveillance System is being more and important with improving
urban scale and increasing number of vehicles. This Paper presents an intelligent sign board
classification method based on blob analysis in traffic surveillance. Processing is done by three main
steps: moving object segmentation, blob analysis, and classifying. A Sign board is modelled as a
rectangular patch and classified via blob analysis. By processing the blob of sign boards, the meaningful
features are extracted. Tracking moving targets is achieved by comparing the extracted features with
training data. After classifying the sign boards the system will intimate to user in the form of alarms,
sound waves. The experimental results show that the proposed system can provide real-time and useful
information for traffic surveillance.
KEYWORDS
Sign board classification, blob analysis
1.INTRODUCTION
In recent days, the automated traffic surveillance system is put forward ubiquitously to be
discussed and studied because it can give meaningful and useful information such as over-speed
and violation in traffic. Generally, the traffic surveillance monitoring has so many types [1].
One of that is the hanging type system rising in recent years, such as camera, radar, and infrared
ray sensor, and the camera-based system is the most popular one that is frequently used because
the cost of setting is lesser and also it is easier to maintain than other methods. The camera-
based system has the following advantages.
1. It can give the high-quality images and achieve traffic monitoring and controlling on the road.
2. It is easy to connect such a system through Internet for monitoring the current traffic flow.
3. With the most advance of computer technologies, the system will provide much of
instantaneity, reliability and security.
4. It is less cost and easy to maintain.

A Sign board tracking and classification system for traffic surveillance is developed by using
blob analysis [2].Blob analysis function is used to detect sign boards based on the intensity
values. Blob analysis function takes input as AVI format video and converts that video into
frames. Blob analysis function checks for sign boards on each and every frame according to the
given intensity values. However, the proposed system will provide sign board detection,
classification, and intimate to the user in a traffic surveillance system.
2. RELATED WORK
In Existing work this approach is used in may fields like counting the number of objects and
counting the vehicles and observing the traffic and detecting particular objects using blob
analysis. But the proposed system going to detect and classify sign boards which will not done
before. So this can extend various other poses.
At present, there are lots of applications in the system of traffic surveillance and video
monitoring. They are mainly about how to use systems in some areas to save labor and achieve
efficiency and security, for e.g. video-based monitoring system [1] for mine area management.
Optimization for surveillance system generally aims at improving system efficiency and seeks
for good performance with less resource.
Video process in surveillance systems leads to study on image processing methods. Researchers
improve algorithms to achieve good performance. However, most of them aim at video
processing and separating from concrete surveillance application. When working, video based
traffic surveillance system will get video data, transmit data, and conduct processing and return
result. We will mainly concentrate on the steps involving in data processing and complex
computing which will affect system performance immensely, consisting of graying,
binarization, denoising and moving object detection [1].
Foreground object detection [5] is the main thing of most video surveillance systems.
Foreground object detection is mainly used for detecting objects of meaningful information in a
video sequence not everything we want to be detected as foreground. If we change the
parameters slightly, we can get more number of objects detected, but this will also going to
increase in false positives due to no stationary backgrounds those are waving trees, rain, snow,
and artifacts due to secular reflection. There is a chance of a problem of shadows for outdoor
videos. Researchers have developed some methods to deal with foreground object detection [5].
Non-parametric systems do not assume any static model or fixed model for probability
distribution of background pixels. In [6], E.G.T. Jaspers proposed an example method by using
a general Bayesian framework which will integrate more number of features to develop a model
to the background for foreground object detection. However, it is likely to get foreground
objects if they are static or ideal for most of the time. And also, parameter selection plays an
important role in getting good results for a set of video sequences.
M. Vargas,S. L. Toral, F. Barrero, J.M. Milla,[7] concentrated on background subtraction,
which is a most general concept for identifying moving objects from video sequences using a
static or an ideal camera. For foreground analysis [8] [9], a technique for foreground analysis
was proposed for moving object, shadow, and ghost by concatenating the moving information.
The total computation cost is very high for real-time video surveillance systems due to the
computation of optical flow.

M.Sankari and C. Meena [10] have proposed a concept to implement background subtraction
from moving vehicles in the traffic video sequences that joins statistical assumptions of moving
objects by using the previous image sequence. It is important to update the background image
consequently in order to improve reliability of the motion object detection. For that purpose, a
binary moving objects hypothesis mask is implemented to detect many group of lattices as
being from a motion object based on the optimal threshold. Then, the new coming video data is
added into the present background image using a Kalman filter.
3. METHODOLOGY
The flowchart of the newly implemented sign board analyzing method is shown in Fig. 1.
Firstly, moving objects are observed from the captured image sequence by using change
detection and background updating [4]. The change detection is used to observe temporal
information between successive image sequences more efficiently than motion object
identification. The implementation of frame difference between mask and background
subtraction mask is used to get the primary object mask and later to solve the uncovered
background problem and still motion object problem. Moreover, the boundary refinement is
implemented to solve the shadow influence and residual background problem. Then, each
segmented object, denoting a sign board, is bounded into a rectangle and the height, width and
area of such a rectangle are regarded as features of that sign board. Based on those features,
each sign board is classified into a Warning signs or Regulatory signs or Informatory signs.
3.1 Sign board segmentation
Generally, the traffic–camera is generally set at a certain place in front of the vehicle and so the
background is stationary. Due to this problem, the background subtraction [2] is suitable to be
employed to detect the moving sign boards in the process of change detection. Initially, a static
background is derived to be a reference frame and then frame-difference technique is used for
change detection. The detection function is shown as follows:
Di (x, y) = Ci (x, y) - Bi (x, y) (1)
Where Di(x,y) is the difference image, Ci(x,y) is the current image, And Bi(x,y) is the
background image, and i denotes the frame index. The difference image needs to be transformed
into binary image by
Ri(x,y)={0 ,if|Di(x,y)|<T (2)
={255 , otherwise
Where Ri(x,y) is a binary image and T is a threshold. In our statistic data of experiments, it is
better to set the value of T as 25.
Owing to the similar pixels existed in both foreground and background; it will generate several
gaps in between the binary mask of the motion object. In order to solve the problem of hollow
phenomenon, erosion and dilation of morphological operations[11] is used. It can not only fill
the gap, but also remove the noise of the binary image. Therefore, it can provide a complete
mask of that moving object for achieving better extraction later. However, the video sequence
gathered may contain more number of moving objects and hence a general multi-object
segmentation algorithm [4] is used to extract every motion object.

3.2.Background Updating
The general idea of background updating is to implement a efficient background that is
subtracted from the present image so that it looks similar to the background in the current frame
of the image sequence [4]. We update the background by taking a weighted average of the
current background and the current frame of image sequence. To extract the background pixels
for updating background of the current frame the updating equation used is implemented as
Bi+1(x,y)={Bi(x,y) , if Ri(x,y)!=0 (3)
={(1-a)Bi(x,y)+aCi(x,y) , otherwise
Where B(x, y) denotes the background image, and a is a weight assigned to the current frame
and background and it will affect the update speed.
3.3.Feature extraction and sign board classification
There are some features existed in a moving target such as texture, color, shape, etc. These
features are roughly classified into two parts: spatial features and temporal features. The spatial
features are used to differentiate more number of objects at a time, and the temporal features are
used for identify the same object at different time. To identify different objects, it is necessary to
obtain the some features that are meaningful and discriminative is necessary.
When a sign board is moving, the extracted features, such as perimeter and area, may be
changeable at different extraction time. To reduce the problem of necessary features extracted
from a moving object, features from analyzing a bounding-box of that moving object is

introduced [12]. Therefore, the dispersed ness, aspect ratio, and area ratio are calculated to
implement steady features for a moving object, as described in the following equations.
Dispersedness=Perimeter2 / Area (4)
Aspect Ratio = Height / Width (5)
Area Ratio= Area / ROI (6)
In the above equations, Perimeter means the boundary of a moving object and Area denotes its
area, but Height, Width and ROI mean the height, width and area (i.e., Height*Width) of that
bounding-box, respectively. In order to achieve tracking and counting, each object’s centroid
needs to be calculated.
In some countries, most of the current rules on roadway traffic indicate that there are only three
categories of sign boards. Thus, the proposed method is dedicated to classifying the extracted
sign boards into its category. To cope with the problem caused by using only one reference
frame [12 ] mentioned above, the proposed method extracts more features from different frames
for achieving a more robust and higher accurate classification of moving sign boards. The
propose method sets an accumulator to check various features extracted from different frames.
If the feature is regarded as belonging to warning sign board, the accumulator increases by one;
otherwise, the accumulator decreases by one. After a period of checking, the final result of that
accumulator will be used to judge what kind the sign board it is.
3.4 Sign board tracking
In order to achieve the sign board tracking, the proposed method will track each moving sign
board within successive image frames. However, after segmenting moving objects, these objects
with their bounding boxes and centroids are extracted from each frame. Intuitively, two objects
that are spatially closest in the adjacent frames are connected. Euclidean distance is used to
measure the distance between their centroids. Besides, the area of a sign board is also
considered for enhancing the sign board tracking. For each object in the current frame, an object
with the minimum distance and similar size between two consecutive frames needs to be
searched in the previous frame.
4.ARCHITECTURE AND MODELING OF DEVELOPED
METHODOLY
Developed work is efficient moving object detection, tracking & counting objects using
boundary block detection for traffic surveillance system. Depending on the analysis of
projection of the motion of objects[4], the information of moving object field is exploited to
improve moving object detection more efficient. The irregular motion of vector field on the
boundaries of moving objects intimate us to detect the moving objects blobs in which the
efficient boundaries of the moving objects are located. The Paper consists of a video clip which
is a sequence of traffic images in AVI format, the objectives are:
Steps:
1. A video clip in the format of AVI for traffic surveillance is taken.
2. After the video is splitted into images

3. Blob analysis function is applied on each and every frame of the input AVI video.
4. Meaningful features of the frames are taken according to the training data
5. After that classifying the detected sign boards.
6. Finally intimate sign board information to the user.
5. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
A theoretical analysis about the proposed sign board classification system has been given in the
above section, but the implementation in several representative situations containing various
sign boards can provide a realistic and interesting evaluation. The following figure shows the
experimental results of the system. Fig .2(A) and 2(B) shows identifying regulatory sign boards
.Fig.3(a) , 3(B) and Fig .4(A),4(B) shows identifying warning sign boards .
Figure 2: Identifying the regulatory sign board
Above fig is example for identifying regulatory sign boards. Regulatory sign boards will inform
road users of certain rules and regulation imposed by the authority.
We can clearly observe the above figure a rectangle box is drawn on the sign board at the same
time a sound wave is also generated which indicates the information about the sign board. If this
system is used in the cars then this rectangle identification is available on the internal screen of
the car and at the same time a sound wave like in front there is a stop sign board will be
appeared through speakers of the car.

Figure 3: Identifying the warning sign board
Above fig is example for identifying warning sign boards. Warning sign boards are Caution to
road users of the existence of hazardous conditions on or adjacent to the roadways.
The above video is taken at some village in evening time. This video is taken by using a
minimum cost camera with low resolution as well. This sign board indicates that warning of
take left turn. The first image 3.a shows that input video before using the system. The second
image 3.b shows the video after applying blob analysis method. We can clearly note that a
rectangle box is drawn on the warning sign board. At the same time a sound wave like in front
there is warning sign board take left turn will be generated through the speakers of the vehicle
which is using this system.
Figure 4: Identifying the warning sign board
The above images also similar to previous images this is also representing warning sign board.
In these images also first one is input video before applying the system and the second image is
result after applying the system. This sign board indicates in front there is speed breaker here
also rectangle box is drawn on the sign board and sound will be generated through speakers.
There are other type of sign boards are there which are going to give some information these
kind of sign boards are known as informatory sign boards .In this paper we are identifying those
sign boards because of their back ground is having different intensity values. Most probably
information sign boards are in green color.
6.CONCLUSION
Detecting sign board through a machine is a good achievement in a modern era of computer
world. This application is really working in many fields. So far object classification is done for
vehicles and counting objects, humans only. It can extend to various other poses. In this system,
we implement a fast and precise real-time blob detection algorithm for traffic surveillance. Blob
detection is to segment separated but clear blob regions for which foreground mask correction
and connected component labeling procedures are required. The main idea of the proposed blob
detection algorithm is to develop a blob correction method which can be efficiently processed
together. That can save the processing time much more than when using a blob analysis. The
experiment results of the system shows the effectiveness of the implemented blob detection
algorithm by considering the processing time and the preciseness in blob detection.
