DETECTION, CLASSIFICATION AND RECOGNITION OF ROAD TRAFFIC SIGNS USING COLOR AND SHAPE

This paper discusses the proposed system for detection of road traffic signs from images or real time video, Classification and Recognition. Road traffic signs are detected by analyzing color information, mainly red and blue, contained on the images or video. Following are main modules of a system: Module 1: Pre-Processing, Module 2: RGB to HSV conversion, Module 3: Detection, Module 4: Template Matching. Finally the proposed system produces the detection of traffic sign with its corresponding classification as Danger, Mandatory or Informatory signs, and recognizes that particular sign.
