Review of Lane Detection and Tracking Algorithms in Advanced Driver Assistance System

Lane detection and tracking is one of the key features of advanced driver assistance system. Lane detection is finding the white markings on a dark road. Lane tracking use the previously detected lane markers and adjusts itself according to the motion model. In this paper, review of lane detection and tracking algorithms developed in the last decade is discussed. Several modalities are considered for lane detection which include vision, LIDAR, vehicle odometry information, information from global positioning system and digital maps. The lane detection and tracking is one of the challenging problems in computer vision. Different vision based lane detection techniques are explained in the paper. The performance of different lane detection and tracking algorithms is also compared and studied.
