چکیده

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems are used to increase the security of vehicles. Computer Vision is one of the main technologies used for this aim. Lane marks recognition, pedestrian detection, driver drowsiness or road sign detection and recognition are examples of these systems. The last one is the goal of this paper. A system that can detect and recognize road signs based on color and shape features is presented in this article. It will be focused on detection, especially the color space used, investigating on the case of road signs under shadows. The system, also tracks the road sign once it has been detected. It warns the driver in case of anomalous speed for the recognized road sign using the information from a GPS.

Flip Animated Road Warning Sign

Studies of visual effects of road signs have shown that having dynamic imagery, and even better, animation, helps improve road signs as it increases a viewer’s attentiveness. However, currently existing animated imagery signs, which are usually digital billboards, have drawbacks including distraction caused by bright LED lights, large energy consumption, and expensiveness. To overcome the probl...

Dynamic Evaluation of the Useful Field of View in Driving

The concept of "useful field of view " (UFOV) was introduced to describe the area from which useful visual information can be extracted in a single glance. It is not restricted to the fovea, nor does it involve the entire visual field. It is often claimed that the UFOV decreases with age, with increasing speed of travel, or under the influence of drugs or stress. However, this potentially impor...

Road Departure Avoidance System Based on the Driver Decision Estimator

In this paper a robust road departure avoidance system based on a closed-loop driver decision estimator (DDE) is presented. The main idea is that of incorporating the driver intent in the control of the vehicle. The driver decision estimator computes the vehicle look ahead lateral position based on the driver input and uses this position to establish the risk of road departure. To induce a risk...
