Abstract

Road and lane detection modules are important sub-systems that need to be developed for autonomous vehicles. This paper (Khalifa et al. 2010) presents a computer vision hyperbola-pair based road detection module that has been implemented and tested in real-time application and has proved sufficiently robust to be used under different driving conditions.
