Lidar-based lane marker detection and mapping

Abstract

The detection of lane markers is a pre-requisite for many driver assistance systems as well as for autonomous vehicles. In this paper, the lane marker detection approach that was developed by Team AnnieWAY for the DARPA Urban Challenge 2007 is described. Based on current sensor technology, a robust real-time lane marker detection was developed and implemented. The system allows the robust estimation of a deviations between a digital map and the real world.
