Exploring the traffic sign dataset

To better understand how the knn() function was able to classify the stop sign, it may help to examine the training dataset it used.

Each previously observed street sign was divided into a 4x4 grid, and the red, green, and blue level for each of the 16 center pixels is recorded as illustrated here.

Stop Sign Data Encoding

The result is a dataset that records the sign_type as well as 16 x 3 = 48 color properties of each sign.
