Integrating Object Detection with 3D Tracking Towards a Better Driver Assistance System

Driver assistance helps save lives. Accurate 3D pose is required to establish if a traffic sign is relevant to the driver. We propose a real-time system that integrates single view detection with region-based 3D tracking of road signs. The optimal set of candidate detections is found, followed by AdaBoost cascades and SVMs. The 2D detections are then employed in simultaneous 2D segmentation and 3D pose tracking, using the known 3D model of the recognised traffic sign. We demonstrate the abilities of our system by tracking multiple road signs in real world scenarios.
