Road Tracking Method Suitable for Both Unstructured and Structured Roads

This paper deals with a problem of road tracking and vehicle positioning based on sequential images captured by a vehicle mounted monocular colour camera. The paper presents a new region-based road tracking method, which is suitable for both structured and unstructured roads. The proposed method is...

The paper presents a new region-based road tracking method, which is suitable for both structured and unstructured roads. The proposed method is based on our original road segmentation algorithm and estimates road model parameters from measurements obtained by analysis of segmented road region.
