Abstract
Advanced driver assistance systems can be designed to recognize and to classify traffic signs under real time constraints, and under a wide variety of visual conditions. This disclosure provides techniques that employ binary masks extracted by color space segmentation, with a different binary mask generated for each sign shape. Temporal tracking is employed to add robustness to the detection system. The system is generic, and is trainable to the traffic signs used in various countries.
