Abstract :
The concern of the intelligent transportation system rises and many driver support systems have been developed. In this paper, a fast method of detecting a traffic light in a scene image is proposed. By converting the color space from RGB to normalized RGB, some regions are selected as candidates of a traffic light. Then a method based on the Hough transform is applied to detect an exact region. Experimental results using images including a traffic light verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.
