In this paper, we propose a new Intelligent Traffic Sign Recognition (ITSR) system with illumination preprocessing capability. Our proposed Dark Area Sensitive Tone Mapping (DASTM) technique can enhance the illumination of only dark regions of an image with little impact on bright regions. We used t...
