We present in this article different algorithms designed for automatic road environment interpretation, from a large amount of data, acquired by embedded sensors. Road markings and traffic signs are extracted then interpreted by means of original image processing techniques whereas road geometry is computed through lidar range data analysis. The outputs of all these algorithms are gathered into a single tool, which manages a precise and global geographic database in order to produce advanced maps. These maps can further be used for intelligent navigation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
