Lane departure warning system using front-view and two mirror-view cameras

Abstract. This study proposes a vehicle Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) that sends a warning to drivers using the road marking recognition system of two cameras installed on the left and right sides of the vehicle. LWDS aims to solve various problems that may possibly arise when driving on the road, including, mainly, unexpected conditions. This system generates warnings using cameras to capture images continuously by identifying the movement direction of a vehicle using left and right road markings and predicting the driving direction of the vehicle. Two cameras are installed on the right and left side mirrors of the vehicle to promote Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The left mirrorview camera detects movement in the right lane, whereas the right mirror-view camera detects movement in the other. These two cameras detect the movement of a vehicle using algorithms and send warning signals to the driver independently. Our algorithm combines these signals to analyze environmental conditions. The used algorithms include brightness adjustment, binarization, dilation, erosion, and edge detection image processing techniques. We tested the LUXGEN M7 in an experiment to verify the feasibility of our proposed system.
