Low Complexity Lane Detection Methods for Light Photometry System

The aim of the paper was to analyze effective solutions for accurate lane detection on the roads. We focused on effective detection of airport runways and taxiways in order to drive a light-measurement trailer correctly. Three techniques for video-based line extracting were used for specific detection of environment conditions: (i) line detection using edge detection, Scharr mask and Hough transform, (ii) finding the optimal path using the hyperbola fitting line detection algorithm based on edge detection and (iii) detection of horizontal markings using image segmentation in the HSV color space. The developed solutions were tuned and tested with the use of embedded devices such as Raspberry Pi 4B or NVIDIA Jetson Nano.
