Traffic Sign Classification

Cautionary traffic signs are of immense significance to traffic safety. In this study,  a robust and optimal real-time approach to recognize the Indian Cautionary Traffic Signs(ICTS) is proposed. ICTS are all triangles with a white backdrop, a red border, and a black pattern. A dataset of 34,000 real-time images has been acquired under various environmental conditions and categorized into 40 distinct classes. Pre-processing techniques are used to transform RGB images to Gray-scale images and enhance contrast in images for superior performance.
