In this paper, an augmented video generation method to evaluate the performance of lane departure warning system is proposed. In our system, the input is a video which have road scene with general clean lane, and the content of output video is the same but the lane is synthesized with contamination image. In order to synthesize the contamination lane image, two approaches were used. One is example-based image synthesis, and the other is background-based image synthesis. Example-based image synthesis is generated in the assumption of the situation that contamination is applied to the lane, and background-based image synthesis is for the situation that the lane is erased due to aging. In this paper, a new contamination pattern generation method using Gaussian function is also proposed in order to produce contamination with various shape and size. The contamination lane video can be generated by shifting synthesized image as lane movement amount obtained empirically. Our experiment showed that the similarity between the generated contamination lane image and real lane image is over 90 %. Futhermore, we can verify the reliability of the video generated from the proposed method through the analysis of the change of lane recognition rate. In other words, the recognition rate based on the video generated from the proposed method is very similar to that of the real contamination lane video.

In this paper, a lane detection and tracking algorithm based on vision sensors and employing a robust filter for inner edge detection is proposed for developing a lane departure warning system (LDWS). The lateral offset value was precisely calculated by applying the proposed filter for inner edge detection in the region of interest. The proposed algorithm was subsequently compared with an existing algorithm having lateral offset-based warning alarm occurrence time, and an average error of approximately 15ms was observed. Tests were also conducted to verify whether a warning alarm is generated when a driver departs from a lane, and an average accuracy of approximately 94% was observed. Additionally, the proposed LDWS was implemented as an embedded system, mounted on a test vehicle, and was made to travel for approximately 100km for obtaining experimental results. Obtained results indicate that the average lane detection rates at day time and night time are approximately 97% and 96%, respectively. Furthermore, the processing time of the embedded system is found to be approximately 12fps.

최근 교통사고 및 교통사고로 인한 사상자수의 감소를 위해 기존의 자동차에 각종센서나 통신기술 등의 첨단 ICT기술을 융합한 첨단안전자동차에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 중에 있다. 이러한 첨단안전자동차 기술의 시장진입 및 관련 기술 도입을 위해서는 자동차에 도입되는 첨단안전 기술에 대한 효과 분석에 따른 도입 타당성 평가가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 첨단안전자동차 기술 중 운전자지원시스템(ADAS: Advanced Driver Assistant System)을 대상으로 효과분석 방법론을 개발하고, 개발한 방법론을 차선이탈경고장치(LDWS: Lane Departure Warning System)와 자동비상제동장치(AEBS: Automatic Emergency Braking System)에 적용한 사례분석을 통해 사고감소효과를 추정하였다. 분석결과, 차선이탈경고장치는 관련 사고유형(정면충돌, 도로외이탈, 공작물추돌, 전도전복)에 대해 약 10~14%의 사고감소 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 자동비상제동장치는 추돌사고에 대하여 약 50%의 사고감소 효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 추후 첨단안전자동차 기술 개발에 따른 효과분석시 기초자료로 활용이 가능할 것이며, 운전자, 탑승자, 보행자를 위한 자동차 기술의 발전 및 기술도입 타당성을 제시하기 위한 근거 자료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

In recent days, vehicles have become equipped with electric systems that assist and help drivers driving safe by reducing possible accidents. LDWS(Lane Departure Warning System) and LKAS(Lane Keeping Assistant System) are involved in assist systems, especially for lateral motion of vehicles. Sudden and inattentive lateral motion of vehicles due to drivers' fatigue, illness, inattention, and drowsiness are major causes of accidents in highway. LDWS and LKAS provide drivers with warnings or assisting power to reduce any possibilities of accidents. In order to prevent or minimize the possibilities of accidents, lateral motion control of vehicles has been introduced in this research. DGPS/RTK(Differential Global Positioning System/Real Time Kinematics) and GIS(Geographic Information System) have been used to obtain the current position of vehicles and decide when activate controlling lateral motion of vehicles. The presented lateral motion control has been validated with actual vehicle tests.

Lane Keeping Assistance System (LKAS) is a kind of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) which are developed to automate/ adapt/ enhance vehicle systems for safety and better driving. The main system function of LKAS is to support the driver in keeping the vehicle within the current lane. LKAS acquires information on the position of the vehicle within the lane and, when required, sends commands to actuators to influence the lateral movement of the vehicle. Recently, the vehicles equipped with LKAS are commercially available in a few vehicle-advanced countries and the installation of LKAS increases for safety enhancement. The test procedures for LKAS evaluations are being discussed and developed in the international committees such as ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe). In Korea, the evaluations of LKAS for vehicle safety are planned to be introduced in 2016 KNCAP (Korean New Car Assessment Program). Therefore, the test procedures of LKAS suitable for domestic road and traffic conditions, which accommodate international standards, should be developed. In this paper, some bullet points of the test procedures for LKAS are discussed and proposed by extensive researches of previous documents and reports, which are released in public in regard to lateral test procedures including LKAS and Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS). And then, to evaluate the validity of the proposed test procedures, a series of experiments were conducted using commercially available two vehicles equipped with LKAS. Later, it can be helpful to make a draft considering domestic traffic situations for test procedures of LKAS.

디지털 기기의 발달과 더불어 능동안전시스템 또한 비례적으로 발달됨에 따라 4.5 톤 이상 중대형상용차에도 능동안전시스템에 대한 요구가 대두되고 있다. 승용차량과 달리 중대형 상용차량 경우 카메라 장착 위치가 상대적으로 높아 차선 인식에 불리한 조건을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 공간영역처리 기반 중 하나인 소벨 에지(Sobel Edge) 추출과 허프 변환(Hough Transform) 기법과 색 변환보정 기법으로 국내 도로 환경에 맞는 차선 인식에 대한 방법을 제시하고, 영상을 통한 전방의 차량을 인식하는 객체 인식 기법 중에 Haar-like 기법, Adaboost 기법, SVM 기법, Template Matching 기법 등을 적용 및 분석을 통하여 검출 오류를 줄이기 위한 전방 차량 인식 방법을 제안한다. 성능검증을 위해서 실차평가를 실시하였으며, 차선 인식에 대해 98% 이상의 높은 인식률을 얻었다.

자동차 시장의 성장과 함께 차량에 카메라가 사용되는 사례가 늘고 있으며 영상 처리 기술의 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 또한, 차량 전장 시스템 기술 역시 급속도로 성장을 하고 있으며, 특히 차선이탈경보시스템(Lane Departure Warning System, LDWS)과 관련된 기술들이 다방면으로 개발 중이다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 방법보다 더 높은 차선 인식률을 검출하기 위해 촬영된 영상에서 먼저 Normalized Luminance Descriptor와 Normalized Contrast Descriptor값을 각각 연산하여, 두 값의 상관관계를 통해 Normalized Image Quality값을 조절하여 영상의 감마값을 조절한다. 그 뒤 다중의 관심영역을 통해 다중 영역에서 선택적 허프변환 알고리즘을 통한 차선 검출 알고리즘을 적용하여 차량 전방의 차선을 인식한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 평균 27 Frame/sec와 $640{\times}480$ 해상도에서 검증 과정을 가졌다. 결과적으로 주 야간 및 심야를 포함한 도로들에서 평균 97% 이상의 차선 인식률을 보였으며 커브구간이나 차도 내 표식이 많은 구간에서도 성공적인 차선 인식을 보인다.

We propose a novel lane detection method based on classification in image sequences. Both structural and statistical features of the extracted bright shape are applied to the neural network for finding correct lane marks. The features used in this paper are shown to have strong discriminating power to locate correct traffic lanes. The traffic lanes detected in the current frame is also used to estimate the traffic lane if the lane detection fails in the next frame. The proposed method is fast enough to apply for real-time systems; the average processing time is less than 2msec. Also the scheme of the local illumination compensation allows robust lane detection at nighttime. Therefore, this method can be widely used in intelligence transportation systems such as driver assistance, lane change assistance, lane departure warning and autonomous vehicles.

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.
