ABSTRACT:
A method and device that increase the performance of prior art systems that recognize and display the contents of traffic signs. The amount of computer capacity required for real time operation is reduced and the display quality of the contents of known traffic signs is improved. The system for recognizing and/or displaying traffic signs comprises a camera and an evaluation unit connected thereto for image recognition and/or display. The system uses information stemming from at least one map-based navigation system and/or one travel information system in order to recognize and/or display the contents of traffic signs.
