Abstract :
In this paper, w e present a n application for t h e detection and recognition of Moroccan road signs together with their positions in video sequences taken by a mobile scanning vehicle in rural areas. Our approach is based on processing t h e operations of pictures: morphology, segmentation, edge detection and object recognition. The application runs on an algorithm which consists of five main steps: input (pre-recording video stream), processing of video keyframes, edge detection, detection of geometric shapes known panels, recognizing the meaning and the position of the panel detected.
