Road-sign identification using ensemble learning

Ensemble learning that combines the decisions of multiple weak classifiers to from an output, has recently emerged as an effective identification method. This paper presents a road-sign identification system based upon the ensemble learning approach. The system identifies the regions of interest that are extracted from the scene into the road-sign groups that they belong to. A large road-sign image dataset is formed and used to train and test the system. Fifteen groups of road signs are chosen for identification. Five experiments are performed and the results are presented and discussed.<br />
