Abstract
A method and a system for lane departure warning are provided. The method is as follows. An original image is segmented into a plurality of regional images. Next, characteristics of each regional image are analyzed, and accordingly non-lane line regions are removed from the regional images, so as to obtain a plurality of lane line candidates. Then, a plurality of lane lines are determined from the lane line candidates according to a location of each lane line candidate in the original image. Finally, the lane lines are distinguished into left lane lines and right lane lines, and a variation of an angle between each left lane line and a horizontal line and a variation of an angle between each right lane line and the horizontal line are analyzed, so as to judge whether a vehicle departs from a lane and send a lane departure warning.
