Summary:In order to reduce accident at traffic intersections during day and night, the algorithm of traffic lights detection which is applied in a vehicle driver assistance system is designed by using the image processing technology. The system of traffic light detection includes three parts: a CCD camera, an image acquisition card, and a PC. Based on RGB color space, the algorithm extracts red, green, and yellow objects in the image firstly; For the purpose of eliminating disturbance in the environment, the features of traffic lights are used to verify the object identity, and then the types of traffic signals are judged. The results of experiments show that the algorithm is stable and reliable.
