Abstract: A new detection algorithm for prohibition signs in outdoor environment is proposed. First the salient regions are found by special color of road signs and then central symmetry projection is used to find location and scale of the regions. Experiment results show that the method obtains high detection rate as well as low false alarm during real time. The algorithm meets the requirement of real-time application.

Key words: prohibition signs, road sign detection, visual saliency, projection
