Add HSV decomposition to the code.
Lane Detection Alerts from driving assist and self-driving cars must detect the road path. There are many strategies to detect the lane and road path. A preliminary step is to create contrast between lane markings and road surface. This is important to determine the continuity of a lane boundary even when there are dashed lines. The region of interest (ROI) helps to focus on specific parts of the image such as the lower half so that the sky is ignored. The ROI may be predicted using the previous frame if the car is changing incline over a hill. Conditions such as fixed or smoothly varying lane width can also limit the search to parallel lane markings and help to reduce false positives.
There are also many road geometry assumptions such as straight, curved, parabola, quadratic, and 3D horizontal and vertical curvature models. Multi-cue fusion includes lane markers, road edges, road color, non-road color, road width, and elastic lanes. Prior work includes hypothesis validation, mean shift algorithm, neural network based (e.g. ALVINN), and temporal correction with position and orientation with respect to the center line between two lane markings. Autopilot features have advanced to the point of commercialized self-driving cars with driver assist when needed. Full autonomy may soon be a standard feature.
Exercise Start with the OpenCV Demo script to explore various methods to increase the contrast for lane detection. Add a quad split similar to the RGB option but that shows Hue, Saturation, and Value (HSV) in this alternate color space. Point the camera at a photo of a road and adjust the lower and upper tolerance to clearly distinguish the road area.
Run the Demo_OpenCV.py script and click Start to begin the image capture. Select the radio buttons to switch between modes. The radio button for HSV is missing the correct code to split and view the image in separate channels. Add the HSV code and display the separate channels. Adjust the tolerance sliders to improve the road and lane detection.\n
