Mission Detailed Design Phase Future Plans

• The Goal of this application is to help driver
successfully detect traffic signs that are often
overlooked. It is also intended to serve as a
core model for autonomous vehicles and help
the system accurately and precisely detect
traffic signs in real-time.
Object detector: We have used TensorFlow's Object Detection API to create Traffic Sign Detector is currently working for iOS application. We hope to
an accurate machine learning model that is capable of localizing traffic signs further develop an application that is compatible with different devices. Our

around any traffic signs detected. expanding our database to make our application available on a global level.
 
Video Processor: The video processor is a program that takes video input
from the camera and prepares it to be sent to the object detector. The video is
then processed frame by frame. It will remove the left half of the image
where there would be no signs to help achieve real-time performance. It will
then resize the image and apply filters to normalize the image
Mobile phone: The mobile phone is mounted in a car with the camera facing
the road. It runs an app which uses the camera to record video from the car
dash. It sends this video data to the video processor.
