Finding Multiple Lanes in Urban Road Networks with Vision and Lidar Citation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a system for detecting and estimating the properties of multiple travel lanes in an urban road network from calibrated video imagery and laser range data acquired by a moving vehicle. The system operates in real-time in several stages on multiple processors, fusing detected road markings, obstacles, and curbs into a stable non-parametric estimate of nearby travel lanes. The system incorporates elements of a provided piecewise-linear road network as a weak prior. Our method is notable in several respects: it detects and estimates multiple travel lanes; it fuses asynchronous, heterogeneous sensor streams; it handles high-curvature roads; and it makes no assumption about the position or orientation of the vehicle with respect to the road. We analyze the system’s performance in the context of the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge. With five cameras and thirteen lidars, our method was incorporated into a closedloop controller to successfully guide an autonomous vehicle through a 90 km urban course at speeds up to 40 km/h amidst moving traffic.

متن کاملAutomatic Road Extraction from Dense Urban Area by Integrated Processing of High Resolution Imagery and Lidar Data
Automated and reliable 3D city model acquisition is an increasing demand. Automatic road extraction from dense urban areas is a challenging issue due to the high complex image scene. From imagery, the obstacles of the extraction stem mainly from the difficulty of finding clues of the roads and complexity of the contextual environments. One of the promising methods to deal with this is to use da...

While many commercial cartographic feature extraction systems process panchromatic and color imagery, few systems fully integrate airborne LIDAR data as a component of the feature extraction process. Most computational techniques seek elevation discontinuities at object boundaries or use the physics of the LIDAR signal to detect regions indicative of sharp edges and/or foliage. Automated road e...
