Lane detection and tracking are very crucial treatments in lane departure warning systems as they help the vehicle-mounted system to keep its lane. In this context, the authors’ work aims to develop vision-based lane detection and tracking method to detect and track lane limits in highways and main roads. The authors’ contribution focuses on the detection step. By exploiting the fact that, in a...
