Intelligent System for Traffic Signs Recognition in Moving Vehicles

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 5027))

Abstract

Recognition of traffic signs by systems of the intelligent vehicles can increase safety and comfort of driving. It can be also used for highway inspection. In this paper we present architecture of such a system, with special focus on fast sign tracking method. In each frame an adaptive window is built around each area with high probability of existence of an object to be tracked. However, contrary to the mean-shift algorithm, it is not necessary to compute a centroid for each such object. Thus the method allows faster execution which is a key parameter for the real-time scene analysis.
