Focused on the problem of time consumption and accuracy of traffic sign recognition system,an efficient algorithm for traffic sign detection based on improved color detection in RGB color space combined with support vector machine is presented. Firstly,the histogram equalization and Gabor filter are applied for image enhancement to highlight the image color. Secondly,an improved color detection method is proposed to select the coarse candidate areas. Thirdly,a SVM classifier is trained using HOG feature for...
