Our world is populated with visual information that a sighted person makes use of daily. Unfortunately, the visually impaired are deprived from such information, which limits their mobility in unconstrained environments. To help alleviate this we are developing a wearable system [1, 19] that is capable of detecting and recognizing signs in natural scenes. The system is composed of two main components, sign detection and recognition. The sign detector, uses a conditional maximum entropy model to find regions in an image that correspond to a sign. The sign recognizer matches the hypothesized sign regions with sign images in a database. …
