Description
This project involved the real-time detection and interpretation of speed limit signs using a regular ($10) web cam in conjunction with a machine vision algorithm developed using Matlab/Simulink. Given time, the project would also have incorporated my previously developed OBD-II interface to compare your current vehicle speed with the posted limit.
