<p>A method for the automatic recognition of traffic signs (TS) on board a vehicle is described and comprises the filming of a scene (S) of the environment outside the vehicle in the direction of travel thereof, the analysis of an image (I) of the scene (S) and the selection of an image area (A) including a representation of a traffic sign (TS), and the classification of the traffic sign (TS) and its display to the driver of the vehicle. The method further comprises analysis of the neighbouring image area (NA) extending around the selected image area (A) including the representation of one or more traffic signs (TS), searching for an object which is represented within said neighbouring area (NA), having predetermined characteristics, for example, chromatic characteristics, typical of a supplementary panel (PN), and displaying to the driver of the vehicle the actual image of the object and/or of a predetermined model representative of the supplementary panel (PN) recognized.</p> |
