چکیده

This paper presents a methodology for extracting road edge and lane information for smart and intelligent navigation of vehicles. The range information provided by a fast laser range-measuring device is processed by an extended Kalman filter to extract the road edge or curb information. The resultant road edge information is used to aid in the extraction of the lane boundary from a CCD camera image. Hough Transform (HT) is used to extract the candidate lane boundary edges, and the most probable lane boundary is determined using an Active Line Model based on minimizing an appropriate Energy function. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the combined Laser and Vision strategy for road-edge and lane boundary detection.

Vehicle Position Estimation for Driver Assistance System

We present a system that finds road boundaries and constructs the virtual lane based on fusion data from a laser and a monocular sensor, and detects forward vehicle position even in no lane markers or bad environmental conditions. When the road environment is dark or a lot of vehicles are parked on the both sides of the road, it is difficult to detect lane and road boundary. For this reason we ...

Dynamic Programming and Curve Fitting Based Road Boundary Detection

This paper presents a vision based road boundary detection based on the combination of dynamic programming and 2nd order polynomial approximation. The initial estimate of the most likely road boundaries are obtained by a modified dynamic programming on a cost field defined on the edge image. A second order polynomial is fit to the initial coarse estimate of road boundaries to obtain a refined e...

A Novel Lane Model for Lane Boundary Detection

This paper addresses the problem of the navigation of a mobile vehicle in outdoor environment. A CatmullRom Spline based lane model which described the perspective effect of parallel lines was proposed for generic lane boundary. As Catmull-Rom Spline can form arbitrary shapes by control points, it can describe a wider range of lane structures than other lane models such as straight and paraboli...

Visual Lane Detection Algorithm Using the Perspective Transform

This manuscript develops a visual lane detection algorithm using the Hough transform to detect strong lines in a road image as candidates for lane boundaries. The search space in the Hough transform is reduced by searching for lane boundaries where they were detected in the previous video frame. The perspective transform is applied to determine the position and orientation of candidate lines, w...

A lane detection vision module for driver assistance

A driver support system should provide assistance and security to the driver. For navigaton tasks it is neccessary to determine position of the ego vehicle relative to the road. One of the principal approaches is to detect road boundaries and lanes using a vision system in the vehicle. Within the European research project ”Secure Propulsion using Advanced Redundant Control (SPARC)” different ap...
