  • Publication number: 20200218908
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for estimating multiple lane boundaries through simultaneous detection of lane markers (LM) and raised pavement markers (RPM). Conventional techniques for lane marker detection (LMD) comprises extracting and clustering line segments from a camera image, fitting the clustered lines to a geometric model, and selecting the multiple lanes using heuristic approaches. Unfortunately, in the conventional technique, an error from each step is sequentially propagated to the next step. Also there are no techniques to estimate both LMs and RPMs. A technique to simultaneously detect in real time both LM and RPMs is proposed. This enables optimal estimation of multiple lane boundaries.
