Traffic light recognition is an important task for automatic driving support systems. Conventional traffic light recognition techniques are categorized into model-based methods, which frequently suffer from environmental changes such as sunlight, and machine-learning-based methods, which have difficulty detecting distant and occluded traffic lights because they fail to represent features efficiently. In this work, we propose a method for recognizing distant traffic lights by utilizing a semantic segmentation for extracting traffic light regions from images and a convolutional neural network (CNN) for classifying the state of the extracted traffic lights. Since semantic segmentation classifies objects pixel by pixel in consideration of the surrounding information, it can successfully detect distant and occluded traffic lights. Experimental results show that the proposed semantic segmentation improves the detection accuracy for distant traffic lights and confirms the accuracy improvement of 12.8 % over the detection accuracy by object detection. In addition, our CNN-based classifier was able to identify the traffic light status more than 30 % more accurately than the color thresholding classification.
