so, back on business.

i'm currently on my final year and i need to do my final project. and after playing around with processing + video capture addon, i have an idea. the idea is to do object detection using color. the object is specifically for traffic sign. and what i notice about traffic sign is the color is different (even though it's the same color, but if i can turn it to pixel and calculate it each of the traffic sign should have unique, isn't it?).

so, basically what i'm trying to do is : traffic sign - capture with webcam (or live if it's possible?) - crop it so minimize the noise - turn it to pixel - calculate the pixel (color) - compare it with database - show the result or if it's new, save it to database.

the problem i'm thinking is :

1. capture using webcam : the lighting and quality

2. the noise : how can i set the threshold so it'll be accurate (still doesn't have the idea)

but, on a second thougth and i'm just remember it now, can the traffic sign detected using Augmented Reality? since AR is basically reading sign...and traffic sign is sign. can it be done? or is it to slow or some drawback?

any help is appreciated
