RECOGNITION AND PREDICTION OF LANE CONSTRAINTS AND CONSTRUCTION AREAS IN NAVIGATION

摘要

Systems and methods use cameras to provide autonomous and/or driver-assist navigation features. In some implementations, techniques for predicting the location of first roadway lane constraints are provided. The system may receive multiple images of a roadway in a vicinity of a vehicle, recognize a first roadway lane constraint, and, when lane prediction conditions are determined to be satisfied, predict a location of a second roadway lane constraint. In some implementations, techniques for detecting and responding to construction zones are provided. The system may receive multiple images of a roadway in a vicinity of a vehicle, recognize indicators of a construction zone in the images, determine that the vehicle is proximate to a construction zone, and output a signal indicating that the vehicle is proximate to a construction zone.

主权项

1. A device mountable on a vehicle, comprising:
a camera adapted to capture, when mounted on the vehicle, and while the vehicle is in motion, multiple images of a roadway within a field of view of the camera; a processor configured to:
obtain the multiple images from the camera;apply image processing to the multiple images to recognize a first roadway lane constraint appearing in at least one of the multiple images;determine, based on the multiple images, that one or more defined lane prediction conditions are satisfied;in accordance with a determination that one or more defined lane prediction conditions are satisfied, predict a location of a second roadway lane constraint;issue a notification or a control signal to control a motion of the vehicle according to the predicted location of the second roadway lane constraint.
