Prerequisites of Image Processing Projects (OpenCV)

For the most part, readers need only know how to program in C++.

This Tutorial will help you in understanding OpenCV from very beginning. There is no rocket science in Image Processing Projects, all you have to do is to make the use of internet in effective way. you need to search the problems and their solutions in a good way. So basic concepts of C++ programming are must but again i will say basic concepts. For the very start you don’t even need to work on C++ classes. Structural programming is enough.

System to be designed

The Project which we will discuss for that Tutorial is on “Traffic Signs Detection FOR ADVANCE DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM”.

Here is the link of a Video that tells how our final Program will look like.

Video for Traffic Sign Recognition  Note: This Video is not made by us, it is just used for the help of viewers to understand the system to be build.

Detecting and recognizing traffic sign is a hot topic in the field of computer vision with lots of application, e.g. safe driving, path planning, robot navigation etc. In this Project, we design and implement a real time “Traffic Sign Recognition for Advance Driver Assistance System (ADAS)” which contains an enriched data set of German traffic signs. The entire process is divided into two parts, the detection step and the classification step. We improve the detection accuracy by enhancing input image before the recognition step. The SVM and HOG features are the major techniques in the recognition step.
