Performances of retroreflectivity vary place to place, according to traffic volumes and time lengths after striping, depending on pavement marking materials and colors. The present paper uses the nation wide data of retroreflectivity, which has been collected from freeways and then tries to develop the regression curve setting traffic volume and service life as independent variables and retroreflectivities as dependent variables. The DB system includes two year's measurement in $2005{\sim}2006$ over Korean freeway pavement marking at an interval of three months for the period. The mobile measurement system, a laserlux, was employed for the purpose. The DB has provided a lot of information about materials and performance of the specific pavement marking such as geometric features, traffic volumes, material characteristics and the installation date. This study provides the comparison of pavement marking performances under diversified conditions. Based on accumulated pavement marking performances, this study provides performance curves based on the diversified factors. The goal of the retroreflectivity modeling is to develop equations that can be used to estimate an average retroreflectivity of pavement markings as a function time since application and traffic volume. After representing the variation of retroreflectivities and estimating regression curves by linear, exponential, logarithmic and power function, the regression curve which had the highest coefficient of determination and the value similar to the last field measurement was regarded as the retroreflectivity decay model. As a result of verification, the decay model showed the signification within the 90% confidence level and especially showed the clear relation with field data according to increase of cumulative vehicle exposure. Accordingly, these models can be used to determine service lives, retroreflectivity degradation rates, and retroreflectivity of new markings.

In this paper, an estimation system of vehicle position and orientation on magnetic lane, which is a parameter of the steering controller for automated lane following is described. To verify that the magnetic dipole model could be applied to a magnetic unit paved in roadway, the analysis of the model is compared with the data of 3-axis magnetic field measured experimentally. The sensor location could be estimated by analysis of the model based on experimental data. For the magnetic lane model merged magnetic unit, the relation of sensor location and magnetic field is acquired experimentally. The proposed estimation of vehicle position and orientation is adopted to automated lane following by computer simulation.

As deep learning-based autonomous driving technology develops, artificial intelligence models for various purposes have been studied. Based on these studies, several models were used simultaneously to develop autonomous driving systems. It can occur by increasing hardware resource consumption. We propose a multi-tasks model using a shared backbone to solve this problem. This can solve the increase in the number of backbones for using AI models. As a result, in the proposed lightweight model, the model parameters could be reduced by more than 50% compared to the existing model, and the speed could be improved. In addition, each lane can be classified through lane detection using the instance segmentation method. However, further research is needed on the decrease in accuracy compared to the existing model.

본 논문에서는 차량에 부착된 4대의 어안렌즈 카메라 영상을 이용하여 차량 주위 전방향의 주변 정보를 포함하는 정합 영상을 생성하고, 생성된 정합 영상에서 차선을 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 전방 카메라만을 이용하여 차선을 검출하는 방법들은 안개와 같이 기상 환경이 안 좋은 경우 가시거리가 짧아져 정상적인 차선 검출이 어려운 문제가 있다. 이에 반해 4대의 어안렌즈 카메라로 차량의 주변을 촬영한 영상은 기상 환경에 영향을 적게 받아 안정적인 차선 검출에 용이하다. 어안렌즈 카메라로 촬영한 영상은 왜곡이 심하기 때문에 왜곡 보정을 수행한 후 차량 위에서 아래로 내려다본 시점으로 투영 변환하여 하나의 영상으로 정합한다. 정합영상에서 관심영역을 설정한 후 차선 후보 영역을 검출하고, 검출된 후보 영역들로 차선을 직선으로 모델링한다. 점선 차선 구간이나 차량 흔들림에 대응하기 위해 직선으로 모델링된 차선 정보의 차선 각도와 차량으로부터 거리 정보를 칼만 필터 기반 추적 및 보정하여 안정적으로 차선 검출을 수행한다. 실험 결과 제안하는 방법은 실선구간에서 99.57%, 점선구간에서는 90.48%의 검출 정확도를 가진다.

This paper presents a procedure to extract lane line models using a set of proposed methods. Firstly, an image warping method based on homography is proposed to transform a target image into an image which is efficient to find lane pixels within a certain region in the image. Secondly, a method to use the combination of the results of edge detection and HSL (Hue, Saturation, and Lightness) transform is proposed to detect lane candidate pixels with reliability. Thirdly, erroneous candidate lane pixels are eliminated using a selection area method. Fourthly, a method to fit lane pixels to quadratic polynomials is proposed. In order to test the validity of the proposed procedure, a set of black-box images captured under varying illumination and noise conditions were used. The experimental results show that the proposed procedure could overcome the problems of color-only and edge-only based methods and extract lane pixels and model the lane line geometry effectively within less than 0.6 seconds per frame under a low-cost computing environment.

In this paper, A lane tracking algoritm is proposed for lane departure warning system. To eliminate perspective effect, input image is converted into Bird's View by inverse perspective mapping. Next, suitable features are extracted for lane detection. Using clustering and lane similarity function with noise suppression features are extracted. Finally, lane model is calculated using RANSAC and lane model is tracked using Kalman Filter. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can be processed within 20ms and its detection rate approximately 90% on the highway in a variety of environments.

In this paper, we propose lane detection and trackinB algerian using B-Snake as robust algorithm. One of chief virtues of Lane detection algorithm using B-Snake is that it is possible to specify a wider range of lane structure because B-Spline conform an arbitrary shape by control point set and that it doesn't use any camera parameter. Using a robust algorithm called CHVEP, we find the vanishing point, width of lane and mid-line of lane because of the perspective parallel line and then we can detect the both side of lane mark using B-snake. To demonstrate that this algorithm is robust against noise, shadow and illumination variations in road image, we tested this algorithm about various image divided by weather-fine, rainy and cloudy day. The percentage of correct lane detection is over 95$\%$.

This paper proposes a novel algorithm to recognize the curve of a structured road. The proposed algorithm uses an LCF (Lane Curve Function) obtained by the transformation of a parabolic function defined on world coordinate into image coordinate. Unlike other existing methods, the algorithm needs no transformation between world coordinate and image coordinate owing to the LCF. In order to search for an LCF describing the lane best, the differential comparison between the slope of an assumed LCF and the phase angle of edge pixels in the LROI (Lane Region Of Interest) constructed by the LCF is implemented. As finding the true LCF, the lane curve is determined. The proposed method is proved to be efficient through various kinds of images, providing the reliable curve direction and the valid curvature compared to the real road.
