PROJECT OVERVIEW

The development of advanced driver assistance systems and ultimately autonomous driving
requires the ability to analyse the road scene. One prerequisite for this is the detection of
lanes and subsequent tracking of lanes.
Driver assistance systems such as cruise control exists to keep check on rash driving while
there are no systems in place to help the driver maintain lane discipline.
This project aims at building a vision based lane tracking system using Kalman filter. Visionbased line tracking system is commonly used to build autonomous cars capable of following
a road without human intervention. First, the image horizon is detected in a traffic scene to
split the sky and road region. Road region is further analysed with entropy method to remove
the road pixels. Lane boundaries are then extracted from the region using lane markings
detection. These detected boundaries are tracked in consecutive video frames .The model
parameters are updated with Kalman filtering method.

Error-checking is performed

iteratively to ensure the performance of the lane estimation model.
