Description

ABSTRACT

The most trending technology the Self-driving car, which has a number of parameters to measure, among that Road sign recognition is also one of the needed parameters to make the car autonomous. Here Raspberry Pi system is used with the camera interface.  The system will look onto the road, whenever it detects the sign like slow, stop. It will recognize the sign and confirmed that Road sign as the box.

BLOCK DIAGRAM

BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION

In the above block diagram, USB camera is connected to the Raspberry Pi, which kept constant. To view the detected sign we connected Monitor to the system.

 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

In the self driving car, the parameter like Road sign recognition is one of the main thing to be measured. We are using OpenCV technology with the Raspberry Pi to detect the Road sign like Stop sign, Speed limit sign to make the car as autonomous. The system will look for the sign, whenever it recognize the sign. It stops looking and boundaries the road sign and displays the message of the sign.

 

HARDWARE REQUIRED

• Raspberry Pi
• Power Adapter
• HDMI to VGA converter (optional, when connecting to Monitor)
• Camera

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• SD Card Formatter
• Win32 Disk Imager (or) Etcher

 

LIBRARIES USED

• Rpi.GPIO as GPIO (To access GPIO Pins of Raspberry Pi)
• Time library (For Delay functions)

 

CONCLUSION

This is the one part of the self-driving car which it recognizes the Road sign, to make the car as autonomous. likewise other features like signal detection, pedestrian detection can be done using OpenCV technology.
