ABSTRACT:
The invention may comprise is a method and system of processing an image such as a road sign wherein the image is viewed from a host such as an automobile. The method begins with the initiating of a scan of an object to obtain an input. The input is converted to a signal before comparing the input with a set of stored inputs to determine a match. The converting step occurs via a fourier or similar transform to produce a transformed input; and, then filters the transformed input using nonlinear filtering.
