Detection of U.S.

Traffic Signs
Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive research study of the detection of U.S. traffic signs.
Until now, the research in Traffic Sign Recognition systems has been centered on European
traffic signs, but signs can look very different across different parts of the world, and a system
that works well in Europe may indeed not work in the U.S. We go over the recent advances in
traffic sign detection and discuss the differences in signs across the world. Then we present a
comprehensive extension to the publicly available LISA-TS traffic sign data set, almost doubling
its size, now with high-definition-quality footage. The extension is made with testing of tracking
sign detection systems in mind, providing videos of traffic sign passes. We apply the Integral
Channel Features and Aggregate Channel Features detection methods to U.S. traffic signs and
show performance numbers outperforming all previous research on U.S. signs (while also
performing similarly to the state of the art on European signs). Integral Channel Features have
previously been used successfully for European signs, whereas Aggregate Channel Features have
never been applied to the field of traffic signs. We take a look at the performance differences
between the two methods and analyze how they perform on very distinctive signs, as well as
white, rectangular signs, which tend to blend into their environment.

Existing system

Proposed System

Now a day, most of thepeoples are

Here we introduce a new technology in

forgetting to properly watch the traffic

detection of traffic signs.

Cameras are used to capture the traffic

signs during in the travelling period.

It is necessity to watch the traffic sign
in hill station place to avoid accident.
Drawbacks
The drivers have to check the sign
always that represent in the road side.
There is no automatic system.
Some of the accidents are occur
because of driver careless.

Working Principle:

sign.
APR are employed for voice output.
Advantages
No need to check road side indication
sign while in the driving.
The system avoids the fine paying
occurring by drivers careless work.

In this project we are discussing aboutautomatic detection of U.S. traffic signs.

The watching of Traffic sign is necessity during in the driving. But they fail to
watch the sign this causes fine paying are occur to driver, it is avoid by
developing automatic detection system. The camera is used to capture the
image of traffic sign then it gives to image processing using mat lab
software. The processed images are controlled and intimate via APR voice
process then it produces the voice output.
