METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH LANE LINE DETERMINATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240119740 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH LANE LINE DETERMINATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for determining lane line information from an input image, matching road feature information to lane lines, detecting changes in road structure, and determining lane line information based on surrounding object information.

  • Determining road feature information from an input image
  • Matching road feature information to lane lines of a driving road
  • Detecting changes in road structure based on the matching result
  • Determining lane line information based on surrounding object information

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, and road maintenance systems.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in detecting changes in road structure, such as changes in lane lines or road signs, which can improve road safety and navigation.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved road safety, enhanced navigation systems, and better road maintenance.

Potential Commercial Applications

The potential commercial applications of this technology include integration into autonomous vehicles, implementation in traffic management systems, and use in road maintenance equipment.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing lane departure warning systems in vehicles, which also focus on detecting changes in lane lines.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle adverse weather conditions?

The patent application does not mention how the method deals with adverse weather conditions that may affect road feature detection and lane line determination.

What is the accuracy rate of the lane line determination process?

The patent application does not provide information on the accuracy rate of the lane line determination process and how it compares to existing methods.


Original Abstract Submitted

a processor-implemented method with lane line determination includes: determining, from an input image, road feature information comprising a surrounding object and a road surface marking comprising a lane line; matching the road feature information to lane lines of a driving road on which a vehicle is driving; detecting whether there is a change in a road structure based on a result of the matching, wherein the change in the road structure comprises any one or any combination of any two or more of a change of the lane line, a loss of the lane line, and a change of a road sign; and based on whether the change in the road structure is detected, determining lane line information of the driving road by using information on the surrounding object.
