Description
Summary:This paper presents a new method for vehicle logo detection and recognition from images of front and back views of vehicle. The proposed method is a two-stage scheme which combines Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Pyramid of Histogram of Gradient (PHOG) features. CNN is applied as the first stage for candidate region detection and recognition of the vehicle logos. Then, PHOG with Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is employed in the second stage to verify the results from the first stage. Experiments are performed with dataset of vehicle images collected from internet. The results show that the proposed method can accurately locate and recognize the vehicle logos with higher robustness in comparison with the other conventional schemes. The proposed methods can provide up to 100% in recall, 96.96% in precision and 99.99% in recognition rate in dataset of 20 classes of the vehicle logo. © 2014 IEEE.
