چکیده

An automatic traffic sign detection system would be important in a driver assistance system. In this paper, an approach for detecting numbers on speed limit signs is proposed. Such a system would have to provide a high recognition performance in real-time. Thus, in this paper we propose to apply evolvable hardware for the classification of the numbers extracted from images. The system is based on incremental evolution of digital logic gates. Experiments show that this is a very efficient approach.

On Feasibility of Adaptive Level Hardware Evolution for Emergent Fault Tolerant Communication

A permanent physical fault in communication lines usually leads to a failure. The feasibility of evolution of a self organized communication is studied in this paper to defeat this problem. In this case a communication protocol may emerge between blocks and also can adapt itself to environmental changes like physical faults and defects. In spite of faults, blocks may continue to function since ...

The Speed-limit Sign Detection and Recognition System

This paper proposes a system that detects and recognizes speed-limit signs automatically. The system detects potential speed-limit sign regions by detecting maximally stable extremal regions (MSERs). The recognition is achieved by using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The proposed system provides robustness and high accuracy in detecting and recognizing speed-limit signs when input i...
