Abstract:
In this paper, we present a method of segmentation of the images colors by leaning on the statistical nature of the image. This method is designed to answer the problem of detection road signs in an image taken by means of a sensor embarked on a vehicle on natural conditions. The presented method exploits only the information of color type, whose new presentation of color we give by means of a statistical entitled technique â€œPrincipal Component Analysisâ€ to have a strong uncorrelatedness between the components establishing the space of color.
