Real-Time Traffic Sign Detection and Recognition for Intelligent Vehicles Using Image
Processing
Detection
Recognition
In the detection phase, the camera that is mounted on the vehicle captures
real-time video of the traffic sign located on the road ahead. The video is then
processed using the image processing techniques which is another important
aspect of this project. The Images that will be captured in RGB (Red, Green,
Blue) color space will be transformed into different color spaces (HSV, YCbCr,
YIQ or CIELab). This transformation is applied because RGB color space is
highly sensitive to light and illumination changes. If the pixel values do not lie
within the threshold ranges, then those pixels are considered as a part of
background image and next image is selected from training data for
segmentation. Furthermore, each captured image is compared with the certain
set of images present in the database to evaluate and validate the traffic sign.
Based on the recognition results, the movement of the vehicle is controlled.
