TRAFFIC SIGN DETECTION AND ANALYSIS: RECENT STUDIES AND EMERGING TRENDS
Keywords:
Traffic Sign Recognition, Traffic Sign Classification, Loop SystemAbstract
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) is a field of research that has seen much activity in the recent decade. This research paper introduces the problem and presents four recent research papers on traffic sign detection and four recent research papers on traffic sign classification. It attempts to extract the recent trends in the field and touch upon unexplored areas, especially the lack of research into integrating TSR with a driver in the loop system and some of the problems that are being presented. The TSR is an exciting field with great promises for integration in the driver assistance systems and that particular area deserves to be explored further.
