In this paper, we propose a robust curved lane marking detection method. Several lane detection methods have been proposed, however most of them have considered only straight lanes. Compared to the number of straight lane detection researches, less number of curved-lane detection researches has been investigated. This paper proposes a new curved lane detection and tracking method which is robust to various illumination conditions. First, the proposed methods detect straight lanes using a robust road feature image. Using the geometric relation between a vehicle camera and the road plane, several circle models are generated, which are later projected as curved lane models on the camera images. On the top of the detected straight lanes, the curved lane models are superimposed to match with the road feature image. Then, each curve model is voted based on the distribution of road features. Finally, the curve model with highest votes is selected as the true curve model. The performance and efficiency of the proposed algorithm are shown in experimental results.

차선의 인식을 위한 연구는 차량의 자율 주행 또는 교통사고의 예방을 위하여 지속적인 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 최근에는 다양한 알고리즘이 등장하여 차선 인식과 검출은 비약적으로 발전하였다. 이들 연구는 주로 비전 시스템 기반의 연구이며 인식률 또한 상당히 좋아 졌다. 그러나 야간의 도로 또는 우천 시에는 그 인식률이 아직 만족할 수준까지 도달하지는 못하였다. 본 논문은 이러한 비전 시스템 기반의 차선 인식 및 검출의 단점을 개선하여 사고 발생 후 대응을 위한 센서 융합 기술을 적용하여 차선 검출에 대한 연구를 수행하였고, 차선 검출에 대한 연구 중 곡선차선의 검출에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 도로는 직선도로 뿐만 아니라 다양한 곡선도로까지 검출 가능해야 하며 이는 교통사고 조사 시에 활용될 수 있다. 커브의 굽은 정도를 나타내는 곡률의 임계값을 0.001~0.06로 하여 곡선자선을 산출해 낼 수 있음을 보였다.

본 연구의 목적은 운전자의 행태를 통한 시선유도시설의 효과를 검증하고, 도로의 기하구조에 따라 어떤 시선유도시설의 효과가 우수한지에 대해 그 결과를 제시하고자 함이며, 이를 위해 GPS가 장착된 차량을 이용하여 시선유도시설의 인지거리와 측방이격 폭을 측정하였다. 실험결과 첫째로 야간에 운전자는 시선유도시설이 설치될 경우 도로선형 인지에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 둘째로 직선구간에서는 표지병보다 시선유도표지의 인지거리가 길고 곡선부에서는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 갈매기표지는 곡선부에서 인지거리가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 표지병은 인지거리와 측방위치에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 직선부에서는 시선유도표지가, 곡선부에서는 갈매기표지의 설치가 권장된다.

This paper describes how a priori road geometry and its estimation may be used to detect road boundaries and lane markings in road scene images. We assume flat road and road boundaries and lane markings are all Bertrand curves which have common principal normal vectors. An active contour is used for the detection of road boundary, and we reconstruct its geometric property and make use of it to detect lane markings. Our approach to detect road boundary is based on minimizing energy function including edge related term and geometric constraint term. Lane position is estimated by pixel intensity statistics along the parallel curve shifted properly from boundary of the road. We will show the validity of our algorithm by processing real road images.

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.

A lane detection based on a road model or feature all needs correct acquirement of information on the lane in an image. It is inefficient to implement a lane detection algorithm through the full range of an image when it is applied to a real road in real time because of the calculating time. This paper defines two (other proper terms including"modes") for detecting lanes on a road. First is searching mode that is searching the lane without any prior information of a road. Second is recognition mode, which is able to reduce the size and change the position of a searching range by predicting the position of a lane through the acquired information in a previous frame. It allows to extract accurately and efficiently the edge candidate points of a lane without any unnecessary searching. By means of inverse perspective transform which removes the perspective effect on the edge candidate points, we transform the edge candidate information in the Image Coordinate System(ICS) into the plan-view image in the World Coordinate System(WCS). We define a linear approximation filter and remove faulty edge candidate points by using it. This paper aims at approximating more correctly the lane of an actual road by applying the least-mean square method with the fault-removed edge information for curve fitting.e fitting.

With the recent surge in the autonomous driving market, the significance of lane detection technology has escalated. Lane detection plays a pivotal role in autonomous driving systems by identifying lanes to ensure safe vehicle operation. Traditional lane detection models rely on engineers manually extracting lane features from predefined environments. However, real-world road conditions present diverse challenges, hampering the engineers' ability to extract adaptable lane features, resulting in limited performance. Consequently, recent research has focused on developing deep learning based lane detection models to extract lane features directly from data. In this paper, we classify lane detection models into four categories: cluster-based, curve-based, information propagation-based, and anchor-based methods. We conduct an extensive analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, evaluate the model's performance on an embedded board, and assess their practicality and effectiveness. Based on our findings, we propose future research directions and potential enhancements.

When a robot navigates in an outdoor environment, a curb or a sidewalk separated from the road can be used as a robust feature. However, most algorithms could detect the curb only in the straight road, and could not detect highly curved corners, ramps, and so on. This paper proposes an algorithm which enables the robot to detect and follow the curbs in various types of roads. In the proposed method, the robot tilts a laser scanner and computes the error between the predicted and the measured distances to the road in front of the robot. Based on this error, the curbs at corners and curves can be classified. It is also difficult to detect a curb near a ramp because of its low height. In this case, the robot also tilts a laser scanner to detect the curb beyond the ramp. Once the robot classifies the road into the curve, corner, ramp, the robot selects the proper navigation strategies depending on the classified road types and is able to continue to detect and follow the curb. The results of a series of experiments show that the robot can stably detect and follows the curb in curves, corners and ramps as well as the straight road.
