Intelligent road recognition system for an autonomous vehicle

The article described the car road detection system. This type of system, also known as green carpet or free space system, is part of an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). The proposed system works by using the image of the camera located at the front of the car. The road detection system uses various operations on the image in appropriately selected color spaces. To improve the detection and reliability of the developed system, shadow areas are removed from the input images. The operation of the road detection system was practically tested using an experimental electric vehicle.
