Abstract We present a solution for the automatic detection and classification of dangerous goods on trucks. Dangerous goods are labeled by an orange dangerous goods plate and/or a dangerous goods symbol sign. The acquisition system consists of a camera and dedicated illumination setup. A computer vision system processes the images by localizing and reading the dangerous goods number. The proposed system can be installed on both ends of a tunnel, thus raising awareness of all dangerous goods currently within the tunnel. To demonstrate the system, we show qualitative and quantitative localization/recognition results on real world data.
