Description
Summary:Camera-based estimation of drivable image areas is still in evolution. These systems have been developed for improved safety and convenience, without the need to adapt itself to the environment. Machine Vision is an important tool to identify the region that includes the road in images. Road detection is the major task of autonomous vehicle guidance. In this way, this work proposes a drivable region detection algorithm that generates the region of interest from a dynamic threshold search method and from a drag process (DP). Applying the DP to estimation of drivable image areas has not been done yet, making the concept unique. Our system was has been evaluated from real data obtained by intelligent platforms and tested in different types of image texture, which include occlusion case, obstacle detection and reactive navigation.
