Security Increasing Trends in Intelligent Transportation Systems Utilising Modern Image Processing Methods

The paper is focused on a description of modern image processing methods in intelligent vehicles with emphasis on an LDWS (Lane Departure Warning System). The authors describe possible solutions for finding the horizontal road marking using a segmentation method based on a Hough’s transformation. In practical realisation the image data have been recorded in the. AVI format using a camera located near the inner rear mirror of the vehicle. A Sobel’s detector is used for the edge detection, which obtains a binary image containing pixels representing the borders of objects.
