DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING TRAFFIC SIGNS

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a device enabling traffic signs to be recognized in a reliable, cost-effective manner requiring as little computing power as possible and allowing them to be displayed to an observer in the form of a memory aid. The reject rate with respect to the recognition of objects that are recognized as traffic signs remains low. According to the invention, image data from an image sensor is analyzed and classified in an information processing unit. Image sections and/or image data corresponding to a symbolic representation stored in a memory unit is/are archived in a memory unit and represented by means of a display unit on the basis of classification results. When the image data is further processed, the extracted objects are separated into specific classes and sub-classes of traffic-signs and classified. A synthetic image of a traffic sign is generated, stored in a memory unit and displayed by means of a display unit.
