This work presents a full generic approach to the detection and recognition of traffic signs. The approach is based on the latest computer vision methods for object detection, and on powerful methods for multiclass classification. The challenge was to robustly detect a set of different sign classes in real time, and to classify each detected sign into a large, extensible set of classes. To address this challenge, several state-of-the-art methods were developed that can be used for differen...

L'any 2012 vam publicar Els pobles perduts amb la intenció de recuperar la memòria de 30 indrets deshabitats que formen part del nostre llegat col·lectiu. Ara hi tornem amb les històries d'una vall i de 29 viles.Hem escrit Els pobles oblidats entre 19 autors d'arreu de Catalunya. Parlem de Vidabona i Saltor, Canals de Cerdanya, Cerneres, Solanell, Montant de Tost, Sant Romà de Tavernoles, Àrreu i Dorve, als Pirineus. Herba-savina, Orrit, Raons i Oroners, a Lleida. Sant Joa...
