Abstract
A method for recognizing horizontal road markings and determining the course thereof. The method includes the steps of capturing an image of a road, and dividing a central region of the image into a plurality of vertically superimposed cells and assigning to each cell predefined lines that are variously aligned around a horizontal direction. In a further step, at least one probability value for the presence of a road marking and displacement values of the line to the road marking are calculated for each line of each cell. The probability values and the displacement values are subsequently entered into a calculation function, and at least one line is output. The course of the horizontal road marking is determined from the at least one line and the displacement values.
