Abstract
A method for lane marker recognition includes: providing a filter bank with a plurality of different pairs of filters adapted to detect the left edge and the right edge of a specific type of a lane marker, respectively; receiving an image of a road; dividing the image of a road into a plurality of image segments, wherein each image segment includes at least one row of pixels of the image of a road; and for each of the image segments: applying a plurality of the pairs of filters of the filter bank to the image segment to generate a plurality of filter outputs; and determining which of the filter outputs correspond to a lane marker by using geo-metric information and appearance based information, wherein the geometric in-formation describes allowable dimensions of a determined lane marker, and the appearance based information describes allowable pixel values of a determined lane marker.
