Abstract

In this paper, a novel and robust method of lane detection has been proposed using images taken by a camera mounted on the hood of a vehicle. Detection of lane is an important and crucial element for an intelligent vehicle system. An important aspect of automatic driver assistance system (ADAS) is lane detection and it relies on accurate detection of lanes. In our method, we create a tentative model of the background and lane is detected as foreground. We develop a background model of the road surfaces without lane marking by considering the spatial neighbourhood of each pixel. It then compares each pixel of the testing frame to the modelled background to detect the lane. Morphological operations are applied over the detected regions of rain in order to give a proper shape and boundary to the detected lane markings. Our algorithm is capable of perfectly detecting straight and curved lanes, continuous and discontinuous lanes and also it has no issues in detecting number of lanes in the video frame. Our algorithm performs accurately in challenging and different scenarios as shown in experimental results.
