In the last few years, driver assistance systems are increasingly being investigated in the automotive field to provide a higher degree of safety and comfort. Lane position determination plays a critical role toward the development of autonomous and computer-aided driving. This paper presents an accurate and robust method for detecting road markings with applications to autonomous vehicles and driver support. Much like other lane detection systems, ours is based on computer vision and Hough transform. The proposed approach, however, is unique in that it uses fuzzy reasoning to combine adaptively geometrical and intensity information of the scene in order to handle varying driving and environmental conditions. Since our system uses fuzzy logic operations for lane detection and tracking, we call it “FLane.” This paper also presents a method for building the initial lane model in real time, during vehicle motion, and without any a priori information. Details of the main components of the FLane system are presented along with experimental results obtained in the field under different lighting and road conditions.

In the last few years, driver-assistance systems are increasingly being investigated in automotive field to provide a higher degree of comfort and safety. Lane position determination plays a critical role toward the development of autonomous and computer-aided driving. This paper presents an accurate and robust method for detecting lateral road marking with applications in autonomous vehicles and driver support systems. Much like other lane detection systems, ours is based on computer vision and Hough transform. Our approach, however, is unique in that it combines geometrical and intensity information of the image, based on a fuzzy logic inference system implementing in-depth understanding of different driving and environmental conditions. We call it Fuzzy Logic lane (FLane) tracking system. Details of the main components of the FLane module are presented along with experimental results obtained under varying lighting and road conditions. It is shown that the proposed method is reliable and effective in detecting road border and can be successfully employed for driver assistance.

The lane information is essential to the highway intelligent vehicle applications. The direct description of the lanes is lane markings. Many vision methods have been proposed for lane markings detection. But in practice there are some problems to be solved by previous lane tracking systems such as shadows on the road, lighting changes, characters on the road and discontinuous changes in road types. Direction kernel function is proposed for robust detection of the lanes. This method focuses on selecting points on the markings edge by classification. During the classifying, the vanishing point is selected and the parts of the lane marking could form the lanes. The algorithm presented in this paper is proved to be both robust and fast by a large amount of experiments in variable occasions, besides, the algorithm can extract the lanes even in some parts of lane markings missing occasions.

For vehicles to have the option to drive without anyone else, they have to comprehend their encompassing world like human drivers, so they can explore their way in roads, pause at stop signs and traffic signals, and try not to hit impediments, for example, different vehicles and pedestrians. In view of the issues experienced in identifying objects via self-governing vehicles an exertion has been made to show path discovery utilizing OpenCV library. The explanation and method for picking grayscale rather than shading, distinguishing and detecting edges in an image, selecting region of interest, applying Hough Transform and choosing polar coordinates over Cartesian coordinates has been discussed.
