Abstract:
A method for identifying a signaling state of at least one signaling device including a traffic light includes obtaining at least one image which includes an image of the at least one signaling device, extracting a region of the at least one image which includes the image of the at least one signaling device, detecting the at least one signaling device within the extracted region of the at least one image, and detecting a signaling state of the signaling device after detecting the at least one signaling device within the extracted region.

Claim (Index 9):
The method of  claim 8 , wherein the MSER operation comprises selecting two seed points, one of the two seed points being selected based on an output of the color segmentation so that if the output is red, the bounding box is fixed so that a traffic light blob occupies an upper region of the bounding box, if the output is green, the bounding box is fixed so that the traffic light blob occupies a lower region of the bounding box, and if the output is amber or yellow, the bounding box is fixed so that the traffic light blob occupies a middle region of the bounding box.
