Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for generating substantially monodisperse droplets. The invention involves flowing a continuous phase fluid in a microfluidic passageway which extends along a longitudinal length direction and has a substantially constant cross section along the length direction. A dispersed phase fluid is introduced into the microfluidic passageway along a traverse direction through inlet orifices to generate droplets of the dispersed phase fluid in the continuous phase fluid. The inlet orifices have a substantially uniform diameter, and any adjacent two of the inlet orifices are arranged to be offset from each other in the length direction. The dispersed phase fluid is broken up by the shear stress generated by the continuous phase fluid to produce monodisperse droplets. By the offsetting arrangement of the inlet orifices, droplets formed by adjacent inlet orifices will not interfere with each other, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the droplets.

The processing device transforms one or two lane lines on the picture into a plurality of characteristic values, processes the characteristic values to generate one or two prediction lane lines, and uses them to dynamically predict and complete the lane lines, thereby forming a lane line prediction model. The processing device uses the lane line prediction model to determine whether the vehicle deviates, and transmits the picture and the lane line prediction model to a display device to display. When the vehicle deviates, the display device warns. The present invention can improve to recognize an unclear lane line, a single lane line and a far lane line.
