Abstract

Elder drivers are increasing in Japan in accordance with the progress of graying society. Risk of traffic accident caused by elder drivers may be higher than younger age drivers. Therefore a system or apparatus to safely support elder driver are highly expected. This paper proposes a technique to identify traffic lights in night - time on various situations. This approach uses both information of the domain that extracted by a hue and information of the domain of the emission of light part. Experiment results show a possibility of increasing recognition rate and avoiding wrong recognition.
