15 Traffic Sign Recognition

авто

распознавание дорожных знаков

система распознавания дорожных знаков

Система использует цифровую видеокамеру, чтобы распознавать дорожные знаки по обеим стороны дороги и на мостах, снабжая водителя через дисплей комбинации приборов информацией о самом последнем обнаруженном ограничении скорости, знаках отмены и правилах обгона. Дисплей может быть настроен на показ знаков на большом информационном экране или на постоянном маленьком — в верхней части дисплея.
Чтобы помочь водителю проверить, насколько свежа имеющаяся информация, выделенный знак постепенно затухает по мере увеличения расстояния от места нахождения знака. Водитель может также использовать систему, чтобы получить предупреждение о превышении скорости, настроив систему так, чтобы на дисплее высвечивался знак ограничения скорости, когда автомобиль превышает высвечиваемое в данный момент ограничение на установленную величину (этот порог может быть настроен водителем). * * * The system uses the digital camera to identify traffic signs on either side of the road and on bridges, providing the driver with information about the latest detected speed limit, cancellation signs and overtaking regulations via the instrument cluster display. The display can be configured to show the signs in a larger information screen, or in a smaller continuous output at the top of the display. To help the driver verify how recent the information is, the displayed sign fades away in a series of steps as the distance increases from the location of the sign. The driver can also use the system to help provide a warning about speeding, by configuring the system to flash the speed limit sign in the display when the vehicle is exceeding the currently displayed limit by a set amount (this threshold can be varied by the driver).
