Traffic signal mapping and detection
TLDR
In this article, a system and method provides maps identifying the 3D location of traffic lights, which can then be used to assist robotic vehicles or human drivers to identify the location and status of a traffic signal.Abstract:
A system and method provides maps identifying the 3D location of traffic lights. The position, location, and orientation of a traffic light may be automatically extrapolated from two or more images. The maps may then be used to assist robotic vehicles or human drivers to identify the location and status of a traffic signal.read more

Vehicle headlight control using imaging sensor
TL;DR: A vehicle headlamp control method and apparatus includes providing an imaging sensor that senses light in spatially separated regions of a field of view forward of the vehicle, such as oncoming headlights and leading taillights as mentioned in this paper.
Patent
Traffic information system using light emitting diodes
TL;DR: In this article, a traffic control system consisting of a road, a vehicle, and a traffic light assembly is described, which is associated with the road and can be operated at a rate that is imperceivable to humans while transmitting information to a receiver.
Patent
Environment recognition device
TL;DR: In this paper, the average color of captured image data in units of macro blocks is calculated by associating color information with the macro blocks and stored in a color index memory, and a histogram creating part creates color histograms representative of the distribution of macro-blocks added with color information corresponding to aimed color indexes.
Patent
Traffic communication system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an Embodiment that provides communication between vehicles and traffic control devices and/or other vehicles using wireless optical, acoustic, and radio frequency signaling methods.
