Fuzzy model applied to the recognition of traffic lights signals

Abstract

This article aims to propose a recognition model of traffic lights which is based on biological concepts of artificial intelligence, specifically visual attention, image processing, and fuzzy. The proposed model uses information from the color histogram of the detected area as input to the fuzzy machine to classify a scene as having a red or green light. Experimental results obtained in the daytime and nighttime periods reveal the efficiency of the proposed model.
