Lane Detection Techniques using Image Processing

Lane detection is a developing technology that is implemented in vehicles to enable autonomous navigation. Most lane detection systems are designed for roads with proper structure relying on the existence of markings. The main shortcoming of these approaches is that they might give inaccurate results or not work at all in situations involving unclear markings or the absence of them. In this study one such approach for detecting lanes on an unmarked road is reviewed followed by an improved approach. Both the approaches are based on digital image processing techniques and purely work on vision or camera data. The main aim is to obtain a real time curve value to assist the driver/autonomous vehicle for taking required turns and not go off the road
