An intelligent detection system based road traffic sign recognition

Abstract EN

Traffic sign detection and recognition systems provide an additional level of driver assistance, leading to improved safety for passengers, road users and vehicles.

The automatic road-signs recognition is an important part of driver assisting systems which helps driver to increase safety and driving comfort.

In this paper we proposed an efficient system for the detection and recognition of the road sign in the road and acquiring the traffic scene images from a fixed source.The road sign recognition system is divided into two parts, the first part is detection stage which is used to detect the signs from a whole image by using the shape filtering method, and the second part is the recognition stage where the traffic sign obtained is analyzed then the names and directions of cities are extracted using the artificial neural network (ANN).The system accuracy more than 90%.-
