Analysis of lane detection techniques using openCV

Lane detection is one of the most challenging problems in machine vision and still has not been fully accomplished because of the highly sensitive nature of computer vision methods. Computer vision depends on various ambient factors. External illumination conditions, camera and captured image quality etc. effect machine vision performance. Lane detection faces all these challenges as well as those due to loss of visibility, types of roads, road structure, road texture and other obstacles like trees, passing vehicles and their shadows. There are several lane detection methods having their own working principles and backgrounds, merits and demerits.
