METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING LANE INFORMATION

摘要

The invention relates to a method of producing lane information for use in a map database. The method comprises: - acquiring one or more source images of a road surface and associated position and orientation data, the road having a direction and lane markings parallel to the direction of the road; - acquiring road information representative of the direction of said road; - transforming the one or more source images to obtain a transformed image in dependence of the road information, wherein each column of pixels of the transformed image corresponds to a surface parallel to the direction of said road; - applying a filter with asymmetrical mask on the transformed image to obtain a filtered image; and, - producing lane information from the filtered image in dependence of the position and orientation data associated with the one or more source images.
