  • Patent number: 9483699
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for detecting traffic lanes in real time are disclosed. The disclosed real-time lane detection apparatus may include: a candidate area establisher unit configured to establish as a candidate area for lane detection an area having an intensity value which corresponds to the intensity of a traffic lane marking from among the intensity values in a color space of a color image; and a lane-marking determiner unit configured to determine a traffic lane marking from the established candidate area by using a line component of the candidate area. According to the present invention, traffic lanes can be detected accurately and quickly, even in environments where the lighting conditions of the road vary.
