A method for detecting traffic lights is provided. The method includes: obtaining a color image captured by a camera; converting the color image into a first monochrome scale image; converting the first monochrome scale image into a first binary image; identifying a first set of candidate blobs in the first binary image based on at least one predetermined geometric parameter; and determine whether a first region in the color image, which first region corresponds to one of the first set of candidate blobs, is a green traffic light using a green traffic light classifier. The accuracy and efficiency may be improved.
