ALERT - Automatic Lane Extraction in Real-Time

Research by Stephen Smith

Introduction

ALERT processes images from a moving sequence and tracks the lane markings robustly, using a combination of local inter-marking interpolation and global extraction. The system runs in real-time on two PowerPCs. More detail will be published once patenting issues are resolved.
