Traffic Sign Recognition

Road and traffic sign recognition is one of the important fields in the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). This is due to the importance of the road signs and traffic signals in daily life. They define a visual language that can be interpreted by the drivers. They represent the current traffic situation on the road, show the danger and difficulties around the drivers, give warnings to them, and help them with their navigation by providing useful information that makes the driving safe and convenient. The main goal of automatic traffic sign recognition is to extract traffic signs from images of complex scenes under uncontrollable illumination. This book gives a description of the way to extract the traffic signs from the images taken for the roads.
