무인차량의 도로주행 방법

Road following of an autonomous vehicle

In this paper we describe a road following method for an autonomous vehicle. From a road image in gray level, a road boundary is detected using a gradient operator, and then the road boundary is converted to orthogonal view of the road showing the vehicle position and heading direction. In this research an efficient road boundary search technique is developed to support real time vehicle control. Also, an obstacle detection method, using images taken from two different positions, has been developed.
