Abstract: This study focuses on control and automation of intelligent road symbol detection system for vahicles in normal environment conditions for social support. The objective is to look for matching information or some data in the input images that are taken by the overhead mounted camera. The whole setup then, filters the noise and other requirements to obtain a steady flow of information for the vehicle to be guided automatically. Here, we have used MATLAB for image processing and a microcontroller interfaced with it for actual real time processing and actuation of commands. The functions attributed in the whole satup are direction control mechanism, UART communication and MATLAB. The results obtained are shown along with neatly explained algorithm and flowchart.
