Abstract

본 논문에서 다양한 환경적 요인에서 촬영한 이미지 데이터를 활용하여 신호등 위치의 정확한 탐지 및 신호등의 색상 인식을 통해 교통 신호를 판별하는데 사용되는 컴퓨터 비전 기반의 신호등 인식 시스템 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이를 통해 기존에 신호를 인식하던 LiDAR 및 RADAR 센서를 대신해 카메라를 사용함으로써 자율주행 차의 제작비용 감소를 기대할 수 있다. 또한 다양한 환경의 이미지 데이터를 통해 실험을 진행하였고 이러한 실험결과를 분석하고 적용함으로써 악천후에서의 효과적인 신호등 인식 시스템을 구축하는데 기여하고자 한다.
