Automatic Road Side Traffic Sign Detection for Drivers using Image Processing

Ramesh Admane

Abstract: In India road accidents are increasing day by day. Many peoples are injured and lost their life in accidents. One of the main reason of road accidents is unawareness about meaning of road sign boards. Moreover, people are unable to visualize the traffic sign boards placed at the road side. This paper deals with the camera-based driver alert system of automatic traffic sign board identification which uses image processing techniques. Proposed system uses a camera, mounted on top of vehicle and interfaced to the processor. Camera captures real time road sign images, processor processes these images using image processing techniques and gives the audio information about road sign to the driver. Main advantage of proposed system is driver need not to concentrate on the road signs while driving and due to which accidents can be avoided.
