Traffic signrecognition is a very important function in automatic driving assistance systems (ADAS). This study addresses the design and implementation of a vision-based ADAS based on an image-basedspeed-limitsign (SLS) recognitionalgorithm, which can automatically detect and recognise SLS on the road in real-time. To improve the recognition rate of SLS having different orientations and scales in the image, this study also presents a new sign content description algorithm, which describes the detected road sign using centroid-to-contour (CtC) distances of the extracted sign content. The proposed CtC descriptor is robust to translation, rotation and scale changes of the SLS in the image. This advantage improves the recognition accuracy of a support vector machine classifier trained using a large database of traffic signs. The proposed SLS recognition method had been implemented on two different embedded platforms, each of them equipped with an ARM-based Quad-Core CPU running Android 4.4 operating system. Experimental results validate that the proposed method not only provides a high recognition rate, but also achieves real-time performance up to 30 frames per second for processing 1280x720 video streams running on a commercial ARM-based smartphone.
