Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a traffic light recognition system and method for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and robust to variations in illumination, partial occlusion, climate, shape and angle at which traffic light is viewed. The solution performs a real time recognition of traffic light by detecting the region of interest, where extracting the region of interest is achieved by projecting the sequence of frames into a kernel space, binarizing the linearly separated sequence of frames, identifying and classifying the region of interest as a candidate representative of traffic light. With the aforesaid combination of techniques used, traffic light can be conveniently recognized from amidst closely similar appearing objects such as vehicle headlights, tail or rear lights, lamp posts, reflections, street lights etc. with enhanced accuracy in real time.
