This paper presents a lane-departure identification (LDI) system of a traveling vehicle on a structured road with lane marks. As is the case with modified version of the previous EDFbased LDI approach [J.W. Lee, A machine vision system for lane-departure detection, CVIU 86 (2002) 52–78], the new system increases the number of lane-related parameters and introduces departure ratios to determine ...

In this paper we described a new technique for measuring a distance to the front vehicle using stereo images. Only vehicles traveling in the driver's lane need to be detected. Thus the driver's lane is determined as the processing region in the images. Usually detecting lane markers does this. However, when the front vehicle appears in the near sight, it is not necessary to detect lane markers ...

Imagine that you are driving on the highway at 70 mph and trying to figure out which lane should follow to exit in front. The precision of the current GPS cannot tell on which lane you are on, so the instruction given by the GPS is just as simple as ”keep right” resulting in the driver’s panic caused by searching from multiple signs. However, if we have a smart camera mounted inside the vehicle...

Most of the people die every year in road crashes due to driver’s inattention and not following the traffic rules. The Lane detection systems are useful to avoid the accidents and safety is the main purpose of the system. The main goal of these systems is to detect the lane stripes and to warn the driver in case of the vehicle tend to depart from the lane. Many intelligent vehicles transport sy...

This paper describes a novel lane detection algorithm for visual traffic surveillance applications under the auspice of intelligent transportation systems. Traditional lane detection methods for vehicle navigation typically use spatial masks to isolate instantaneous lane information from on-vehicle camera images. When surveillance is concerned, complete lane and multiple lane information is ess...

Lane detection and tracking are very crucial treatments in lane departure warning systems as they help the vehicle-mounted system to keep its lane. In this context, the authors’ work aims to develop vision-based lane detection and tracking method to detect and track lane limits in highways and main roads. The authors’ contribution focuses on the detection step. By exploiting the fact that, in a...
