Detection and Classification of Occluded Traffic Sign Boards

Traffic sign board detection and recognizing is essential in vehicular driving assistance. It's a one of the recent trends where many of the automotive industries are carrying out their research. It becomes very much important to recognize traffic signs when they are occluded. Due to the occlusion of traffic signs it may even mislead the vehicular driver and also may cause severe problems while driving on a road. There are some existing automatics traffic sign detection methods that have been developed in previous studies, yet the methods designed for generalized traffic sign. This paper explains how occluded sign boards are recognized and occluded sign boards are classified depending upon their structures. It also helps method helps in identifying the partial or completely occluded sign boards and achieve betteraccuracy.
