High-Speed LED Traffic Sign Tracking Method Using Image Sensor with High-Speed Capturing Ability of Partial Area

Abstract

Visible Light Communication (VLC) using LEDs has been proposed as a wireless communication method. As an application of VLC in ITS, we propose a road-to-vehicle visible light communication system using an LED traffic sign as a transmitter and an image sensor as a receiver. For conducting the communication, it is necessary to have high-speed tracking of the LED traffic sign by the image sensor. In this paper, we propose new high-speed tracking method for this system.
