Lane extraction is basically required for a driving car to understand its external road environments via a camera. In this paper, a lane extraction method using "Sobel Intensity Profile" is described. The Sobel intensity profile is obtained using only vertical edge components of Sobel edge outputs, and used to yield fitted lines for lanes. The RANAC algorithm is applied to fit lines using only inliers. Experimental results have shown the reliability of the proposed lane extraction method.

This paper proposes a novel lane detection algorithm based on inverse perspective transformation and machine learning in lightweight embedded system. The inverse perspective transformation method is presented for obtaining a bird's-eye view of the scene from a perspective image to remove perspective effects. This method requires only the internal and external parameters of the camera without a homography matrix with 8 degrees of freedom (DoF) that maps the points in one image to the corresponding points in the other image. To improve the accuracy and speed of lane detection in complex road environments, machine learning algorithm that has passed the first classifier is used. Before using machine learning, we apply a meaningful first classifier to the lane detection to improve the detection speed. The first classifier is applied in the bird's-eye view image to determine lane regions. A lane region passed the first classifier is detected more accurately through machine learning. The system has been tested through the driving video of the vehicle in embedded system. The experimental results show that the proposed method works well in various road environments and meet the real-time requirements. As a result, its lane detection speed is about 3.85 times faster than edge-based lane detection, and its detection accuracy is better than edge-based lane detection.

In this paper, we will explain about the unmanned vehicle control and modeling for combined obstacle avoidance and lane tracking. First, obstacle avoidance is considered as one of the important technologies in the unmanned vehicle. It is consisted by two parts: the first part includes the longitudinal control system for the acceleration and deceleration and the second part is the lateral control system for the steering control. Each system uses to the obstacle avoidance during the vehicle moving. Therefore, we propose the method of vehicle control, modeling and obstacle avoidance. Second, we describe a method of lane tracking by means of vision system. It is important in the unmanned vehicle and mobile robot system. In this paper, we deal with lane tracking and image processing method and it is including lane detection method, image processing algorithm and filtering method.

The goal of this research is developing advanced lane detecting algorithm for unmanned vehicle. Previous lane detecting method to bring on error become of the lane loss and noise. Therefore, new algorithm developed to get exact information of lane. This algorithm can be used to AGV(Autonomous Guide Vehicle) and LSWS(Lane Departure Warning System), ACC(Adapted Cruise Control). We used 1/10 scale RC car to embody developed algorithm. A CCD camera is installed on top of vehicle. Images are transmitted to a main computer though wireless video transmitter. A main computer finds information of lane in road image. And it calculates control value of vehicle and transmit these to vehicle. This algorithm can detect in input image marked by 256 gray levels to get exact information of lane. To find the driving direction of vehicle, it search line equation by curve fitting of detected pixel. Finally, author used median filtering method to removal of noise and used characteristic part of road image for advanced of processing time.

Autonomous driving vehicle research demands complex road and lane understanding such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping and centering, lane change and turn assist, and driving under complex road conditions. A fast and robust road lane detection subsystem is a basic but important building block for this type of research. In this paper, we propose a method that performs road lane detection from black box input. The proposed system applies Random Sample Consensus to find the best model of road lanes passing through divided regions of the input image under HSV color model. HSV color model is chosen since it explicitly separates chromaticity and luminosity and the narrower hue distribution greatly assists in later segmentation of the frames by limiting color saturation. The implemented method was successful in lane detection on real world on-board testing, exhibiting 86.21% accuracy with 4.3% standard deviation in real time.

Among the technologies for implementing autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance system is a key technology to support driver's safe driving. In the technology using the vision sensor having a high utility, various preprocessing methods are used prior to feature extraction for lane detection. However, in the existing methods, the unnecessary lane candidates such as cars, lawns, and road separator in the road area are false positive. In addition, there are cases where the lane candidate itself can not be extracted in the area under the overpass, the lane within the dark shadow, the center lane of yellow, and weak lane. In this paper, we propose an efficient preprocessing method using k-means clustering for image division and the HSV color model. When the proposed preprocessing method is applied, the true positive region is maximally maintained during the lane detection and many false positive regions are removed.

Detecting the ego-lane of a vehicle (the lane on which the vehicle is currently running) is one of the basic techniques for a smart car. Vision sensing is a widely-used method for the ego-lane detection. Existing studies usually find road lane lines by detecting edge pixels in the image from a vehicle camera, and then connecting the edge pixels using Hough Transform. However, this approach takes rather long processing time, and too many straight lines are often detected resulting in false detections in various road conditions. In this paper, we find the lane lines by scanning only a limited number of horizontal lines within a small image region of interest. The horizontal image line scan replaces the edge detection process of existing methods. Automatic thresholding and spatiotemporal filtering procedures are also proposed in order to make our method reliable. In the experiments using real road images of different conditions, the proposed method resulted in high success rate.

도로용량편람에서 제시하는 서비스수준은 새로운 교통시설 설치 또는 기존 시설 확장에 근거로 사용되고 있다. 신호교차로 서비스수준 분석은 다섯 단계로 진행되는데 그 중 3단계는 차로군 분류 단계이다. 이 단계에서 분류된 차로군으로 연속적인 분석을 진행하기 때문에 서비스수준 분석 시 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 하지만 본 연구에서 분석한 결과 회전교통량이 적은 경우에도 불구하고 실질적 전용회전차로군으로 분류되는 점을 발견하였다. 이러한 문제점에 대한 대안으로 USHCM의 차로군 분류 방법을 차용하는 방법, 공용차로 당 회전별 교통량 비율을 사용하는 방법 그리고 기준 회전교통량 이하인 경우 통합차로군으로 분류하는 방법 세 가지를 제시하였고 정산한 CORSIM 시뮬레이션과 비교해보았다. 본 논문에서는 각각 방법의 결과 및 한계점을 제시하였고 추후 다양한 네트워크에 대하여 연구가 필요하다는 결론을 내렸다.

This paper proposes a novel algorithm for lane detection based on inverse perspective transformation and Kalman filter. A simple inverse perspective transformation method is presented to remove perspective effects and generate a top-view image. This method does not need to obtain the internal and external parameters of the camera. The Gaussian kernel function is used to convolute the image to highlight the lane lines, and then an iterative threshold method is used to segment the image. A searching method is applied in the top-view image obtained from the inverse perspective transformation to determine the lane points and their positions. Combining with feature voting mechanism, the detected lane points are fitted as a straight line. Kalman filter is then applied to optimize and track the lane lines and improve the detection robustness. The experimental results show that the proposed method works well in various road conditions and meet the real-time requirements.

자동차 기술의 발전으로 카메라를 이용하여 차선을 검출하는 운전자 보조 시스템에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 비가 오거나 차선이 노후화된 경우 차선 검출이 어려운 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 도로 환경 변화에 강인한 차선 검출 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 밝기 값과 차선의 평균적인 폭 정보를 이용하여 후보 영역을 추출한다. 추출된 후보 영역을 기준으로 허프 변환을 이용하여 구간별 직선을 추출하고, B-Snake 방법을 사용하여 자연스러운 차선을 검출하게 된다. 노후화 되거나 손실된 차선을 검출하기 위하여, 기존에 검출된 차선 정보를 이용하여 다음 프레임에서 차선이 위치할 경로를 계산하고, 계산된 경로를 기준으로 차선 영역에서 검출되는 후보 영역에 대한 가중치를 부여한다. 실험 결과 제안하는 방법은 노후화되거나 비가 내려 차선의 밝기가 낮은 경우에도 효과적으로 차선을 검출하였다.
