Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel method for real-time lane detection that is robust for inclined roads and not require a camera parameter, the Inverse Perspective Transform of the image, and the proposed lane filter. After finding the vanishing point from the start frame of the image and storing the region surrounding the vanishing point as the Template Area(TA), our method predict the lanes by scanning toward the lower part from the vanishing point of the image and obtain the image removed the perspective effect using the Inverse Perspective Transform coefficients extracted based on the predicted lanes. To robustly determine lanes on inclined roads, the region surrounding the vanishing point is set up as the template area (TA), and, by recalculating the vanishing point by tracing the area similar to the TA (SA) in the input image through template matching, it responds to the changes on the road conditions. The proposed method for a more robust lane detection method for inclined roads is a lane detection method by applying a lane detection filter on an image removed of the perspective effect. Through this method, the processing region is reduced and the processing procedure is simplified to produce a satisfactory lane detection result of about 40 frames per second.

본 논문에서는 영상의 카메라 파라미터가 필요 없는 역 투시변환 기술 및 제안한 차선필터를 사용하여 경사진 도로 환경에서도 강인한 실시간 차선 검출방법을 제안한다. 영상의 시작 프레임에서 소실점을 찾은 후, 소실점 주변의 일정영역을 템플릿(TA: Template Area)으로 저장하며, 소실점을 기준으로 하단으로 내려가면서 차선을 예측하고, 예측된 차선을 기반으로 역 투시변환계수를 추출하여 추출된 계수로 원근감이 제거된 영상을 얻으며, 바로 그 영상에 제안한 차선필터를 적용하여 차선을 검출한다. 경사진 도로환경에서도 강인한 차선 검출을 위하여 입력영상으로 부터 TA와 유사한 영역(SA: Similar Area)을 템플릿 매칭으로 추적하여 소실점을 재계산하여 차선을 검출한다. 제안한 방법은 경사진 도로 환경에서도 차선검출이 견고하며, 처리영역을 축소하고 처리과정을 단순화함으로서 초당 40 frames 정도의 양호한 차선검출 결과를 보였다.
