Abstract :
Presents a visual navigation algorithm for autonomous on-road vehicles. The purpose of the research is to realize an autonomous vehicle navigation system which works as an intelligent driving support system. The basic structure of such autonomous vehicle navigation system is described first. Then, a vehicle control algorithm based on the visual tracking of fixed targets and path planning is proposed as a function of the autonomous vehicle navigation system. A visual navigation experiment of tracking a straight broken-line was conducted to verify the function using an experimental autonomous vehicle
