  • Abstract
    A new road detection algorithm based on image inhomogeneous features and geometry model is introduced to improve its robustness for illumination variations, shadows, noise, or the discontinuity of road boundary, etc. The local deviation and discontinuity of road image are fused to make in-homogeneous image that is binarized to road edge based on scale-histogram. After estimating the optimum control points using M-estimator road, the edge above can be fitted with Catmull-Rom spline. The simulation results confirm the fine robustness and adaptiveness of the newly proposed algorithm.
