A Joint 3D-2D based Method for Free Space Detection on Roads
In this paper, we address the problem of road segmentation and free space
detection in the context of autonomous driving. Traditional methods either use
3-dimensional (3D) cues such as point clouds obtained from LIDAR, RADAR or
stereo cameras or 2-dimensional (2D) cues such as lane markings, road
boundaries and object detection. Typical 3D point clouds do not have enough
resolution to detect fine differences in heights such as between road and
pavement. Image based 2D cues fail when encountering uneven road textures such
as due to shadows, potholes, lane markings or road restoration. We propose a
novel free road space detection technique combining both 2D and 3D cues. In
particular, we use CNN based road segmentation from 2D images and plane/box
fitting on sparse depth data obtained from SLAM as priors to formulate an
energy minimization using conditional random field (CRF), for road pixels
classification. While the CNN learns the road texture and is unaffected by
depth boundaries, the 3D information helps in overcoming texture based
classification failures. Finally, we use the obtained road segmentation with
the 3D depth data from monocular SLAM to detect the free space for the
navigation purposes. Our experiments on KITTI odometry dataset, Camvid dataset,
as well as videos captured by us, validate the superiority of the proposed
approach over the state of the art.Comment: Accepted for publication at IEEE WACV 201

Robust Multiple Lane Road Modeling Based on Perspective Analysis
Road modeling is the first step towards environment perception within driver assistance video-based systems. Typically, lane modeling allows applications such as lane departure warning or lane invasion by other vehicles. In this paper, a new monocular image processing strategy that achieves a robust multiple lane model is proposed. The identification of multiple lanes is done by firstly detecting the own lane and estimating its geometry under perspective distortion. The perspective analysis and curve fitting allows to hypothesize adjacent lanes assuming some a priori knowledge about the road. The verification of these hypotheses is carried out by a confidence level analysis. Several types of sequences have been tested, with different illumination conditions, presence of shadows and significant curvature, all performing in realtime. Results show the robustness of the system, delivering accurate multiple lane road models in most situations
Characterizing driving behavior using automatic visual analysis
In this work, we present the problem of rash driving detection algorithm
using a single wide angle camera sensor, particularly useful in the Indian
context. To our knowledge this rash driving problem has not been addressed
using Image processing techniques (existing works use other sensors such as
accelerometer). Car Image processing literature, though rich and mature, does
not address the rash driving problem. In this work-in-progress paper, we
present the need to address this problem, our approach and our future plans to
build a rash driving detector.Comment: 4 pages,7 figures, IBM-ICARE201
