Traffic sign detection based on Haar and adaBoost classifier

Abstract

Intelligent transportation system is a hot issue in the field of computer vision. Traffic sign detection is an important part of intelligent transportation system. A traffic sign detection algorithm based on Haar feature and AdaBoost algorithm is proposed in this paper. Firstly, Haar features are extracted from the positive and negative samples of the training set, and then these features are used to train the AdaBoost cascade classifier. Finally, the Haar features are extracted from the test image, and the possible traffic signs in the image are detected, the experimental results show that the method can achieve good detection effect, and provide a new idea for the detection of traffic signs.
